.net client on github

Hey,
I'v wappered a .net client, on
http://github.com/medcl/ElasticSearch.Net,
it now supports the basic features and i'll imporve it in future.
i hope you'll like it.:slight_smile:

Hey,

Looks good!. Just a few notes on the client (really applies to any client
developed on top of elasticsearch):

  1. The transport should be pluggable. It is HTTP currently, but in 0.11
    there will be an option for a thrift API (similar to HTTP, so simple to
    change) which is more performant.

  2. The .NET client can try and follow similar concepts are the Java client
    as the languages are so similar. Of course, C# has burst ahead of Java over
    the past few years so cool things like dynamic aspects and such can be used
    to really make the user experience nice...

hi,shay banon,
thanks for your notes,and dynamic object and linq in c# is cool,i'll
use them in the client,BTW does elasticsearch also support avro?

No, elasticsearch does not support Avro (yet). Avro is a pretty good
serialization library (though the binary smile format for json I talked
about is just as good, and does not require mappings). On the other hand, it
does not (yet) have a good story for transport, so you need to write your
own transport for it. On the server side I can hack a TCP based transport
for avro quite easily, but it does require writing a TCP client for it on
the client side..., which is more complex than thrift, which already has a
transport story.

Hey Medcl,

I am also in the process of writing a .net client perhaps we should see if
we can make it a bundled effort instead? I do think the term
"ElasticSearch.NET" should be reserved for a propper .NET port of the whole
Elasticsearch code base.

Ohh, and of course I am all for the idea of joining forces and building a
client, I think its a superb idea.

One more thing about clients, if they there is momentum behind them, then I
can also open a repo (with proper permissions) under elasticsearch group (
elasticsearch · GitHub). This might help in joining forces.
