elasticsearch-tools

A collection of elasticsearch command line tools for doing things like bulk importing/exporting and exporting/importing mappings.

It was created because some of the existing import/export tools ran too slow on my machine. Using the new bulk API seemed to speed things up dramatically. The other tools I used also weren't exporting _parent and _routing fields.

Installation

npm install -g elasticsearch-tools

After installing, you will have access to the following command line tools:
