Hello,
I am attempting to develop a Visualization plugin. I would like to be able to get the raw index data (filtered or not) from the elastic search and then allow my visualization to aggregate it correctly.
Is there a valid way to do this? Is there any other documentation? Am I better off attempting to set the requestHandler to none and directly interact with my elasticsearch instance since I can't seem to get the build in request mechanism working?
Thanks for any advice,
Eric

I'm not sure what requestHandler you're using, but it's definitely possible to just get an Elasticsearch client and query the docs yourself. It's probably where I would start, just to get things working and keep it simple.
