Hey, I'v wappered a .net client, on [http://github.com/medcl/ElasticSearch.Net](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.πŸ™‚ ---

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. -shay.banon 2010/9/26 Medcl [medcl@163.com](mailto:medcl@163.com) > 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? > > On 9月26ζ—₯, 上午6ζ—Ά14εˆ†, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > > > Hey, > > > > Looks good!.

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](http://ElasticSearch.NET)" should be reserved for a propper .NET port of the whole Elasticsearch code base. -Martijn Laarman 2010/9/26 Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) > No, elasticsearch does not support Avro (yet).
