for the scalatistas among us, check out scalastic[https://github.com/bsadeh/scalastic](https://github.com/bsadeh/scalastic) - a Scala driver for ElasticSearch [http://www.elasticsearch.org/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/) please take it for a spin, and if you have needs the driver does not provide, do let me know. also, what is the process (or magic incantation) I need to follow to add it to the Clients & Integrations[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/clients.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/clients.html) page? best, Benny from the README:About Scalastic is an interface for ElasticSearch [http://www.elasticsearch.org/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/), designed to provide more flexible and Scala-esque interface around the nativeelasticsearch Java API[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/) . Scalastic has been developed and tested against elasticsearch 1.9.x+. Way cool, but how do I use it? in general, look at the scalatest source for usage examples ... the main dude is the Indexer: import com.traackr.elasticsearch.\_ val indexer = Indexer. just about every Indexer api call has these forms: indexer. // a blocking call indexer.send\* // async call indexer.prepare\* // get the builder and tailor it all to your heart's content api-calls employ named parameters and provide default values; you only need to provide what differs. Creating an Indexer (connecting to an elastic cluster) using node-based access: val indexer = Indexer.local.start val indexer = Indexer.using(settings) // String or Map val indexer = Indexer.at(node) using a transport client: val indexer = Indexer.transport(settings = Map(...), host = "...") Indexing val mapping = """ { "type1": { "properties" : { "from" : {"type": "ip"}, "to" : {"type": "ip"} } } } """ indexer.createIndex("index1", settings = """{"number\_of\_shards":1}""") indexer.waitTillActive() indexer.putMapping(indexName, "type9", mapping) indexer.index(indexName, "type9", "1", """{"from":"192.168.0.5", "to":"192.168.0.10"}""") indexer.refresh() Searching indexer.search(query = boolQuery .must(rangeQuery("from") lt "192.168.0.7") .must(rangeQuery("to") gt "192.168.0.7")) or: val response = indexer.search(indices=List(index1, indexN), query = some\_narly\_query, from=100, size=25, etc. etc.) Testing - try mixing in the UsingIndexer trait Building - sbt 0.11.2 - Maven 3.0.4 ---
