hello i am new to elastic search. i read thru java api on your site but cudnt understand completely how to create client by establishing connection to the server. elastic search server is hosted at a particular IP address and i need to connect to it thru java code. so can you please guide me as to which kind of client i should create and how? thnx ---

Explained here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/client/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/client/). Probably the simplest form would be to use the Server Client. Note, if you use it, make sure to pass -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true for simpler usage. cheers, shay.banon On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 12:07 AM, megAmin [amin.megha@gmail.com](mailto:amin.megha@gmail.com) wrote: > hello > i am new to Elasticsearch. i read thru java api on your site but > cudnt understand completely how to create client by establishing > connection to the server.

The server client way will automatically discover all the other nodes in the cluster. If you don't want that, and want to use direct connection, then you can use the TransportClient also explained on the page. -shay.banon On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 3:50 PM, megha a [amin.megha@gmail.com](mailto:amin.megha@gmail.com) wrote: > hey i saw this, but i want the client to talk to my server at a particular > ip for example 10.0.0.56. so how to make tat happen? which property to set? > > On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)wrote: > > > Explained here: > > [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/client/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/client/). > > Probably the simplest form would be to use the Server Client.

yes i tried the transportCLient but my code is getting hosed, it is getting stuck at this particular line Client client2 = new TransportClient() .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("10.0.0.56", 9200)); ne clues wat i m doing wrong?

Yes I've seen that too and then abandoned using the Java API. Are their any examples of the Java API that are complete and connect to a remote cluster?

Is your server running on the same network? I just don't see how I can point the API to a specific cluster. We have a test server on our local network and one in the Amazon cloud. So I want to set parameters according to staging versus production.

how does it discover servers on other networks? I have a distributed system in both development and production.

Default configuration uses IP multicast discovery, so you don't need to set anything special (unless you want to specify the multicast group). However, you'll have hard times trying to use multicast discovery on EC2 (or any other cloud provider), so I suggest you to switch to seed-based TCP discovery. Discovery module configuration is explained at: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/) Hope that helps.

that looks promising. I'll go thrown the docs right now.

Sergio, I understand the JGroups configuration now. Does this also apply to the TransportClient() method for connecting? In the API documentation it has the following example: Client client = new TransportClient() .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("host1", 9800)) .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("host2", 9800)); We cannot get this to work at all. Is there a different port for this method of connecting? The example uses 9800 here while everything else uses 9200. I know 9200 works on the server and is accessible from our development machines but it doesn't work with the TransportClient.

Nope, TransportClient is unaware of the server environment, it only needs to connect to one or more nodes. I _think_ the port should be configured (by the server side) as described here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/) That is, it's not the standard HTTP port.

Hi, 9200 is the HTTP port, when you use the TransportClient, you would want to connect to the transport port (printed in the logs when the server starts up). By default, the port is 9300 (if you start another server on the same machine, then it will use the next available port). So, when you use the TransportClient, you need to use 9300. By the way, multicast is enabled on GoGrid :). cheers, shay.banon On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 6:52 PM, Sergio Bossa [sergio.bossa@gmail.com](mailto:sergio.bossa@gmail.com) wrote: > On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 5:15 PM, Mindgauge [mindgauge@gmail.com](mailto:mindgauge@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Does this also apply to the TransportClient() method for connecting? > > Nope, TransportClient is unaware of the server environment, it only > needs to connect to one or more nodes. > > I _think_ the port should be configured (by the server side) as > described here: > [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/) > That is, it's not the standard HTTP port. > Shay may want to correct me 🙂 > > Please let us know how it works. > > -- > Sergio Bossa > [http://www.linkedin.com/in/sergiob](http://www.linkedin.com/in/sergiob) ---
