Elastic Search Client
=====================

A node.js client for elasticsearch (http://www.elasticsearch.com). 

## Installation

npm install elasticsearchclient


## Executing commands on elasticsearch
ElasticSearchClient = require('elasticsearchclient');

var serverOptions = {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 9200,
};

OR specify multiple hosts

var serverOptions = {
    hosts:[
        {
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 9200
        }]
};

var elasticSearchClient = new ElasticSearchClient(serverOptions);

var qryObj = {
    field : term
}

elasticSearchClient.search('my_index_name', 'my_type_name', qryObj)
            .on('data', function(data) {
                console.log(JSON.parse(data))
            })
            .on('done', function(){
                //always returns 0 right now
            })
            .on('error', function(error){
                console.log(error)
            })
            .exec()

elasticSearchClient.index('my_index_name', 'my_type_name', {'name':'name', id:"1111"})
            .on('data', function(data) {
                console.log(data)
            })
            .exec()

//Bulk index example
var commands = []
commands.push({ "index" : { "_index" :'my_index_name', "_type" : "my_type_name"} })
commands.push({field1:'value',field2:'value'})


    elasticSearchClient.bulk(commands, {})
            .on('data', function(data) {})
            .on('done', function(done){})
            .on('error', function(error){})
            .exec();

Twitter stream:
Seems to be a problem in the es with deleting streams. May require a node restart for modifications/deletes to take effect
    elasticSearchClient.createOrModifyTwitterRiver(riverName, riverData)
        .on('data', function (data) {
            console.log(data)
            assert.ok(JSON.parse(data).ok)
        })
        .on('error',
        function (error) {
            console.log(error)
            assert.ok(false)
        }).exec()
