Hello guys,

Thanks for the community support here 🙂

We would like to use a client for our nodes. However, we are limited to the  
usage of nginx. We dont have the full control over using nginx.

So we wanted to use one of the official/unofficial ES client. I have  
searched, but all I could find is to comparison between clients in PHP  
language.

Since I know PHP has many drawbacks in terms of perforance, I would like to  
ask you guys, which client do you suggest that could handle the most  
requests per second and be fastest at that time. We used node client, but  
It works on only 1 thread (as the nature of node) which lead my questions  
about the issue.

Or are there any benchmark tools avaliable you could suggest me ?

Thanks

I think you mean Node.js. The Java node client does not work on 1 thread.

Use Java API, it is the generic interface to ES. Also note, the setup of  
the cluster determines the client performance. There is not much you can do  
at client side if your cluster is small and slow.

Yes I meant "nodej.s" client. Independent of ES cluster, I really wonder  
the client performance. Cluster is big and backed by 3 machines. All using  
ssds, 4 cores and 15gb of rams.
