Hi Shay, I am new to Thrift and found document in ES. Anyway I managed to start ES with Thrift configured. But may I know how to query ES with Thrift? Can you provide me a sample query that calls ES with Thrift Thanks SRR ---

Hi, I haven't used Thrift myself but I think there is a unit test for this: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/thrift/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/thrift/test/SimpleThriftTests.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/thrift/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/thrift/test/SimpleThriftTests.java) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/thrift/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/thrift/test/SimpleThriftTests.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/thrift/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/thrift/test/SimpleThriftTests.java) Regards, Lukas On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 12:18 PM, srrIN [srrranga@gmail.com](mailto:srrranga@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Shay, > > I am new to Thrift and found document in ES. > Anyway I managed to start ES with Thrift configured.

Hi, I found this old link useful to setup thrift with python. [http://www.winterebbs.com/?cat=3](http://www.winterebbs.com/?cat=3) you also need to go to the thrift download site: [http://thrift.apache.org/download/](http://thrift.apache.org/download/) I used the svn download Follow the directions to compile and install the source. Next run ./bin/plugins -install transport-thrift in the ES root directory Use the instructions in the old link above to implement a python demo in the ./plugins/transport-thrift directory.
