Thift Java API and Maven

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello.
I'm experimenting with ElasticSearch and want to experiment with the
Java API and the Thift connection.

I've installed the Thrift plugin and when I start ElasticSearch, I see
that it starts the Thrift transport. When I included the Thrift
dependency in the Maven POM, Maven complains with: "Missing artifact
org.elasticsearch:es-libthrift:jar:0.6.1:compile"

The Maven dependency used follows:

org.elasticsearch elasticsearch-transport-thrift 0.17.1 jar

Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

What are you trying to do? If oyu want to connect to elasticsearch using hte
Java API, you don't need thrift, you can connect using the "native"
connection by constructing a client. If you want to use thrift, you need to
build your own thrift bindings and use thrift lib yourself. Note, the thrift
API is a simple wrapper around the REST API, its similar in nature to
connecting using HTTP.

I'm trying to determine the most performant method of doing indexing
and thought I understood using the Thrift transport was faster.

If you use Java, then the "pure" Java API is the fastest. HTTP as a
transport is actually not that slow, its just that some clients perform
badly with it.

One more thing, the Java API uses an internal communication transport, not
HTTP.

Thank you very much for your responses.

From what I can tell right now, this is a good product.
