A Giter8 template that describes how to use Java High-Level Rest Client to connect with Elasticsearch service running either locally or as AWS service.!

This is a simple application to understand how we can use high-level REST client in order to store and retrieve data from Elasticsearch.

Steps to follow to clone and compile the application:

• Open the terminal.
• Clone the project sbt new knoldus/high-level-rest-client-elasticsearch-scala.g8.
• cd high-level-rest-client-elasticsearch-scala.
• Execute sbt clean compile.

Steps to follow to run the application:

• Set the configurations in application.conf if you want to use Amazon ES service. Else run elasticsearch locally.
• Use sbt run to execute CRUD operations on Elasticsearch as specified in ElasticSearchProcessor.

You can now run the commands on either local Kibana or AWS proxy Kibana to interact with the data stored in indices -

• By executing GET /_cat/indices?v, you can list all the indices. You can see user-index index is being created.
• By executing GET /user-index/_search { "query": { "match_all": {} }}, you can list out all the data in users-index.
