elasticsearch-js
=================
Official *low-level* client for Elasticsearch.
This project's goal it to give the JavaScript community a solif foundation for all Elasticsearch-related code. It features a complete API, provides a module for use in Node.js as well as several different build for use in the browser. We have tried to be opinion-free and very plugable.
To maintain consistency across all the low-level clients (Ruby, Python, etc), clients accept all of their parameters via a single object, along with a single callback.
Features
--------
- One-to-one mapping with REST API and other language clients
- Configurable, automatic discovery of cluster nodes
- Persistent, Keep-Alive connections
- Load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across all availible nodes. Defaults to round-robin
- Pluggable connection pools to offer different connection strategies
- Generalized, pluggable architecture - most components can be replaced with your own custom class if specialized behavior is required
