Hi,

there is no official language client for R, but a community member has written one. This should get you started: [https://github.com/ropensci/elastic](https://github.com/ropensci/elastic)

Hi Daniel,

Can you pls help me with the recommendation engine, can we build a recommendation engine with elasticsearch with R or any other tool.

Apologies for banging in in a tranquil discussion

Hi @Divya_Bhardwaj,

I am sure you can do that but this is an entire project and I am far from an expert in neither R nor in recommendation engines. I'd start checking the available literature. An introductory text is for example [Programming Collective Intelligence](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596529325).
