Hey ElasticSearch users, I've been working on a ruby client lately since the one mentioned on [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com) seems to be abandoned. Mine is nowhere near complete, but it implements most of the basic operations. I've been using it for a few weeks now with some success. It has some nice features like automatic failover, retry, and auto- discovery. Most of that code is directly inspired by the thrift\_client and cassandra gems, so tip of the hat to them. I haven't mentioned it here because there are no tests, and that's a bad thing, but my time has been taken up by other projects and I figure it's time to let other people play with it if they want. Just be aware that it is nowhere near final, and anything could change at any time. But if you want to hack on/with it, be my guest 🙂 The code is here: [http://github.com/grantr/rubberband](http://github.com/grantr/rubberband) It's also on gemcutter: [http://rubygems.org/gems/rubberband](http://rubygems.org/gems/rubberband) Grant ---

Looks great, elasticsearch really needs a good ruby client (and then a nice "acts\_as" on top of it, if I got my ruby lingo correct, or the new rails 3 orm abstraction). Added the the main products page as well. -shay.banon On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 10:46 AM, Lukáš Vlček [lukas.vlcek@gmail.com](mailto:lukas.vlcek@gmail.com) wrote: > Added link to > [http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elastic-search-clients-and-integrations](http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elastic-search-clients-and-integrations) > > [http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elastic-search-clients-and-integrations](http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elastic-search-clients-and-integrations) > Regards, > Lukas > > On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 1:44 AM, Grant Rodgers [grantr@gmail.com](mailto:grantr@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Hey Elasticsearch users, > > > > I've been working on a ruby client lately since the one mentioned on > > [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com) seems to be abandoned. > > > > Mine is nowhere near complete, but it implements most of the basic > > operations.
