If you use https to protect traffic between esjs client and the nodes in your cluster then you also can't use sniffing. This is because we use the /_nodes/_all/clear output to populate the connection pool and that API does not know that the nodes speak HTTPS at all. This change implements the config.sniffedNodesProtocol to fix this. As it is implemented here, the sniffedNodesProtocol can be set to a string which will be used as the protocol configuration for each Host object created durring sniffing, plain and simple. The default value for this configuration depends on the hosts initially passed to the client, if all of the nodes have the same protocol that protocol is used. If your nodes list is empty or there is a mixture of protocols in this list then "http" is used, as it is the default protocol for each host.
elasticsearch.js
The official low-level Elasticsearch client for Node.js and the browser.
Features
- One-to-one mapping with REST API and the other official clients
- Generalized, pluggable architecture. See Extending Core Components
- Configurable, automatic discovery of cluster nodes
- Persistent, Keep-Alive connections
- Load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across all available nodes.
Use in Node.js
npm install elasticsearch
Use in the Browser
Check out the Browser Builds doc page for help downloading and setting up the client for use in the browser.
| bower: | bower install elasticsearch |

| download: | zip | tar.gz |

Supported Elasticsearch Versions
Elasticsearch.js provides support for, and is regularly tested against, Elasticsearch releases 0.90.12 and greater. We also test against the latest changes in several branches in the Elasticsearch repository. To tell the client which version of Elastisearch you are using, and therefore the API it should provide, set the apiVersion config param. More info
Examples
Create a client instance
var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch');
var client = new elasticsearch.Client({
host: 'localhost:9200',
log: 'trace'
});
Send a HEAD request to /?hello=elasticsearch and allow up to 1 second for it to complete.
client.ping({
// ping usually has a 3000ms timeout
requestTimeout: Infinity,
// undocumented params are appended to the query string
hello: "elasticsearch!"
}, function (error) {
if (error) {
console.trace('elasticsearch cluster is down!');
} else {
console.log('All is well');
}
});
Skip the callback to get a promise back
client.search({
q: 'pants'
}).then(function (body) {
var hits = body.hits.hits;
}, function (error) {
console.trace(error.message);
});
Find tweets that have "elasticsearch" in their body field
client.search({
index: 'twitter',
type: 'tweets',
body: {
query: {
match: {
body: 'elasticsearch'
}
}
}
}).then(function (resp) {
var hits = resp.hits.hits;
}, function (err) {
console.trace(err.message);
});
