I've been using it with hive, but note it doesn't yet have support for nested documents and upsert. However, maps and structs work fine.
See the instructions here: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop

Hi everyone

Is there a way to push documents and nested documents to ES through the hive or Pig storage handler. I am kinda unclear how you would go about doing it.
Would it be through the MAPs?
If anyone is kind enough to provide a way or example or file to read.

thanks for this and all the good work

Not yet but it is scheduled for the next version (suggestions welcome). As
you pointed out maps are nice vehicle however we need the extra metadata
that identifies the map as a nested document.

Great to hear
thanks for all the hard work
let me know If I can do anything to help out.

Definitly getting, nested children and parent child relations in would be a great plus

Hi guys,
upsert, parent/child support, routing, timestamp, etc... are now supported in master. I'll update the docs accordingly but in short, use es.mapping.[parent|version|etc...] setting to specify the desired parameter and es.write.operation to chose between index|create|update.

Considering the latest additions in 1.3 M2 I think this issue is fixed. Please file a new one if that's not the case.
