Elasticsearch Scroll Stream

Elasticsearch Scroll query results as a Node.js Readable Stream.

This module works with the official Elasticsearch nodejs clients:

@elastic/elasticsearch (new Elasticsearch js API)
elasticsearch (old Elasticsearch js API)

API

ElasticsearchScrollStream is a Readable Stream, so it supports all the methods of a classic Stream#Readable. In addition it exposes a #close() method to force the stream to stop sourcing from Elasticsearch. When the stream begins to be consumed (starting from the first data event), it will contain an attribute _total that is the total number of matched documents.

Installing

To install the latest released version:

npm install elasticsearch-scroll-stream --save

Usage with the official Elasticsearch js API

Example with a simple query strings query.

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const ElasticsearchScrollStream = require('elasticsearch-scroll-stream')

const elasticsearch_client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' })

// Create index and add documents here...

// You need to pass the client instance and the query object
// as parameters in the constructor
const es_stream = new ElasticsearchScrollStream(client, {
  index: 'elasticsearch-test-scroll-stream',
  type: 'test-type',
  scroll: '10s',
  size: '50',
  _source: ['name'],
  q: 'name:*',
})

// Pipe the results to other writeble streams..
es_stream.pipe(process.stdout)

es_stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log('End')
})

Example with a simple query strings query, and optional_fields specified (in this case we want _id and _score fields into results).

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const ElasticsearchScrollStream = require('elasticsearch-scroll-stream')

const elasticsearch_client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' })

// Create index and add documents here...

// You need to pass the client instance and the query object
// as parameters in the constructor
const es_stream = new ElasticsearchScrollStream(client, {
  index: 'elasticsearch-test-scroll-stream',
  type: 'test-type',
  scroll: '10s',
  size: '50',
  _source: ['name'],
  q: 'name:*'
}, ['_id', '_score']); // optional_fields parameter: allowed values are those supported by elasticsearch

// Pipe the results to other writeble streams..
es_stream.pipe(process.stdout)

es_stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log("End")
});

Example with a full request definition using the Elasticsearch Query DSL.

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const ElasticsearchScrollStream = require('elasticsearch-scroll-stream')

const elasticsearch_client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' })

// Create index and add documents here...

// You need to pass the client instance and the query object
// as parameters in the constructor
const es_stream = new ElasticsearchScrollStream(client, {
  index: 'elasticsearch-test-scroll-stream',
  type: 'test-type',
  scroll: '10s',
  size: '50',
  _source: ['name'],
  body: {
    query: {
      bool: {
        must: [
          {
            query_string: {
              default_field: "_all",
              query: 'name:*'
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
});

// Pipe the results to other writeble streams..
es_stream.pipe(process.stdout)

es_stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log("End")
});

Example of using the close() method.

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const ElasticsearchScrollStream = require('elasticsearch-scroll-stream')


// Create index and add documents here...

const pageSize = '5'
let stopCounterIndex = (parseInt(pageSize) + 1)
let counter = 0
let current_doc
const elasticsearch_client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' })

const es_stream = new ElasticsearchScrollStream(elasticsearch_client, {
  index: 'elasticsearch-test-scroll-stream',
  type: 'test-type',
  scroll: '10s',
  size: pageSize,
  _source: ["name"],
  body: {
    query: {
      bool: {
        must: [
          {
            query_string: {
              default_field: "_all",
              query: 'name:third*'
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}, ['_id', '_score']);

es_stream.on('data', function(data) {
  current_doc = JSON.parse(data.toString())
  if (counter == stopCounterIndex) {
    es_stream.close()
  }
  counter++
});

es_stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log(counter)
});

es_stream.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log(err)
});

See test files for more examples.

Developing

Fork the git repo, clone it, then install the dev dependencies.

cd elasticsearch-scroll-stream
npm install

Make your changes, add tests, then run the tests to make sure nothing broke.

make

NOTE: Tests require an ElasticSearch server running at http://127.0.0.1:9200/. You can spawn a docker container for the purpose with:

docker-compose up -d

which maps host port 127.0.0.1:9200 to container port 9200
