Tutorial on Java interface to ElasticSearch?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am a total newbie to ElasticSearch, and I have been using the following
tutorial to get started:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/getting-started.html

I'm finding it really easy to follow and informative.

Now, I want to use the Java API to write a Java program that uses
ElasticSearch, but I can't find an equally helpful tutorial for the Java
API. I am surfing and searching through the API documentation, but can't
figure out how to do even easy operations like: create an index, put a
document into it, retrieve it, etc...

Of course, I could always write methods that send HTTP requests, at which
point I could rely on what I learned through the above tutorial. But I
would prefer to use a more direct link provided by the Java API.

Does someone know of a good tutorial on the Java API?

Thx.

Hey Alain,

You can have a look at this: https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/tree/answers
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html

I hope this could help.

Currently the best way to learn the Java API is to view the Elasticsearch
search code.

All the REST examples use the Java API underneath, so you can see how the
Java API is used by viewing a REST action such as RestSearchAction,
RestIndexAction, etc...

https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action

The unit tests are another great place to see how the Java API is used,
with actual examples:

Cheers,

Ivan

Thanks David. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Or just sift through the generated Java API Documentation. You can find some at: http://javadoc.kyubu.de/elasticsearch.

Best, Adrian
