Elasticsearch connection error about haystack

[jaehyeongAN]

Hi, I have the same issue!

from haystack.document_store import ElasticsearchDocumentStore

ES_HOST = 'host ip' # my host ip
document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(ES_HOST)

The above code works normally when connecting to 'localhost' after docker runs on a local PC, but an error occurs when accessing an external Elasticsearch IP!

and below is the error log.

But, as shown in the code below, when connected directly to Elasticsearch, it worked fine.

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

ES_HOST = 'host ip' # my host ip
es = Elasticsearch(ES_HOST)
es.info()

Hey @laifuchicago,

Thanks for reporting. Could you please provide a bit more information on your case so that we can try to replicate it:

• How are you running Elasticsearch? Are you using a local docker as described in the README (docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" elasticsearch:7.5.1)?
• How do you initialize the ElasticsearchDocumentStore?
• What Retriever are you using?

Thanks!

[laifuchicago]

To Tholor:
This is my code, and I have run the docker run
from haystack import Finder
#from haystack.database.sql import SQLDocumentStore
from haystack.database.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDocumentStore
from haystack.indexing.cleaning import clean_wiki_text
from haystack.indexing.io import write_documents_to_db, fetch_archive_from_http
from haystack.reader.farm import FARMReader
from haystack.reader.transformers import TransformersReader
from haystack.utils import print_answers
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(host="localhost:9200",username="", password="", index="squad500")

[laifuchicago]

I guess it's the elasticsearch_dsl error, we can not import that, my elasticsearch_dsl version is 7.1.0 and elasticsearch is 7.5.1

[tholor]

The versions should be fine.
However, you initialize the DocumentStore slightly wrong. Can you please try the following:

document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(host="localhost", username="", password="", index="document")

host doesn't expect a port number.

I also just saw that the index name is currently bound to "document". We will add a PR to allow flexible naming here ...
@tanaysoni can you please implement this? I think the issue is that we don't initialize the index correctly:

haystack/haystack/database/elasticsearch.py

Lines 6 to 12 in d33ef9c

	class Document(ESDoc):
	name = Text()
	text = Text()
	tags = Text()
	class Index:
	name = "document"

[jyotikhetan]

hi, @tholor Can't we use Elasticsearch directly from the source..??
I tried using it, I am getting errors saying the connection is refused...& elastic search is getting killed itself..!!

f"Initial connection to Elasticsearch failed. Make sure you run an Elasticsearch instance at {hosts} and that it has finished the initial ramp up (can take > 30s).")
ConnectionError: Initial connection to Elasticsearch failed. Make sure you run an Elasticsearch instance at [{'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200}] and that it has finished the initial ramp up (can take > 30s).

[tholor]

Hey @jyotikhetan , What do you mean by "directly from the source"?
If you mean running elasticsearch via a daemon like this, it is definitely possible:

import os
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
es_server = Popen(['elasticsearch-7.9.2/bin/elasticsearch'],
                   stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT,
                   preexec_fn=lambda: os.setuid(1)  # as daemon
                  )

In the end you can run elasticsearch as you wish (docker, daemon, remote cloud service ...). I'd suspect some network issues or elasticsearch has not fully started yet. Maybe try a simple curl to elasticsearch (outside of Haystack) to verify that it is up and running correctly.

[chicuong209]

@jaehyeongAN Did you resolve this issue? If yes, could you please share your solution?

[jaehyeongAN]

@chicuong209 My exteral Elasticsearch IP was cloud service. So, access was only available by https. I added parameter of 'sheme'

document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(
    host=es_host,
    port=es_port,
    scheme='https',
           :
)

I am using ElasticSearch version 8.5.1 and the latest python library of ElasticSearch concurrent with version 8.5.1.

I am also having trouble with ElasticsearchDocumentStore. After following the ElasticSearch instructions [here] for deploying an instance of a single node in a container using a docker image (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html), I was able to run the following 2 code blocks successfully:

import requests
from datetime import datetime
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from elasticsearch import RequestsHttpConnection

client = Elasticsearch( [{ 'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 9200,'scheme': 'https'}], ca_certs="../http_ca.crt", http_auth=('username', 'password'))
resp = client.info()
resp  # this executed correctly

and this:

r = requests.get('https://localhost:9200/_cluster/health', verify="../http_ca.crt", headers={"Authorization": 'Basic ' + TOKEN})
r.json()

Then I tried

from haystack.document_stores.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDocumentStore

doc_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(
    host="localhost",
    port=9200,
    scheme="https",
    username = "username",
    password = "password",
    index = "doc1",

)

and no matter what I try above, I get this error:

[devvspaces]

Just for others, i used Elastic version 8, i tried the method above but added certs to the function

document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(host="localhost", username="elastic", password="***", index="document", scheme="https", ca_certs="./http_ca.crt")

[slavaGanzin]

This worked for me with 8.10.2

  elasticsearch:
    image: "docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.10.2"
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
    restart: on-failure
    environment:
      - xpack.security.enabled=false
      - xpack.license.self_generated.type=basic
      - network.host=0.0.0.0
      ...
