Elastic

You Know, for (Elastic) Search.

There's a bug / I have a feature request

If you've got a feature request, then please submit a pull request which adds the functionality you want.

ElasticSearch version

This package is designed to work with ElasticSearch 2.4.x, since that's the version I am personally using.

I think if there are API compatibility issues with ElasticSearch 5.x then we should look at creating a branch for 5.x compatibility. Please submit a pull request to kick off this process.

Elastic / Elastix / Tirexs

There's a similar package called Elastix, which provides similar functionality. I only found out about this package after I wrote Elastic and was using it in production; after first trialling tirexs -- and not finding its code very easy to understand.

It looks like the creator of Elastix and I have similar design ideals, so it really does come down to personal choice when deciding which library to use. I think Elastic has better documentation. Elastix has a Mapping API, but Elastic has a Scrolling API.

Choose your own adventure ;)
