SQL to query data from ElasticSearch

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to query data indexed in ElasticSearch using
SQL-like language instead of the ElasticSearch REST API. The solution may
be something built on top of the the REST API but what I really need is
just an interface to query data using SQL or something close to SQL without
having all the features of it.

The reason why I want something like this is because I am working on a
project wherein I need to expose querying data from ElasticSearch to a very
small subset of users, who are developers. Since they are developers, SQL
comes more naturally to them and working with it is rather easy as compared
to learning a new interface for querying data.

Thanks,
Vaidik

I can recommand to use a QueryString query.
You can use Lucene Query Syntax. You don't need to reinvent the wheel here.

If your users are developpers, they will understand very quick all the basics.

See
http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/queryparser/org/apache/lucene/queryparser/classic/package-summary.html#package_description

This is in python, but if you are fine with a command-line tool (or python) it does the job.
I also have a java version, but didn't have the time to publish it just yet.

Hi,

While not a direct answer to your question, see Sensei's BQL - maybe you
can adapt/borrow from it.

Vaidik have you looked at Apache Drill ?

This should be your choice i believe.

What did you use to parse SQl to Elasticsearch query? Any kind of compiler
like yacc?
