elasticsearch
Official Rust Client for Elasticsearch.
Full documentation is available at https://docs.rs/elasticsearch
The project is still very much a work in progress and in an alpha state; input and contributions welcome!
Compatibility
The Elasticsearch Rust client is forward compatible; meaning that the client supports communicating with greater minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch language clients are also backwards compatible with lesser supported minor Elasticsearch versions.
Features
The following are a list of Cargo features that can be enabled or disabled:
- native-tls (enabled by default): Enables TLS functionality provided by
native-tls
. - rustls-tls: Enables TLS functionality provided by
rustls
. - beta-apis: Enables beta APIs. Beta APIs are on track to become stable and permanent features. Use them with caution because it is possible that breaking changes are made to these APIs in a minor version.
- experimental-apis: Enables experimental APIs. Experimental APIs are just that - an experiment. An experimental
API might have breaking changes in any future version, or it might even be removed entirely. This feature also
enables
beta-apis
.
Additionally, this library also runs in Web Assembly runtimes that provide the Fetch API, like node.js and web browsers.
Getting started
The client exposes all Elasticsearch APIs as associated functions, either on
the root client, Elasticsearch
, or on one of the namespaced clients, such as Cat
, Indices
, etc. The namespaced clients
are based on the grouping of APIs within the Elasticsearch REST API specs from which much of the client is generated.
All API functions are async
only, and can be await
ed.
Installing
Add elasticsearch
crate and version to Cargo.toml. Choose the version
that is compatible with the version of Elasticsearch you're using
[dependencies]
elasticsearch = "8.7.0-alpha.1"
The following optional dependencies may also be useful to create requests and read responses
serde = "~1"
serde_json = "~1"
Async support with tokio
The client uses reqwest
to make HTTP calls, which internally uses
the tokio
runtime for async support. As such, you may require to take a dependency on tokio
in order to use the client. For example, in Cargo.toml, you may need the following dependency,
tokio = { version = "*", features = ["full"] }
and to attribute async main function with #[tokio::main]
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// your code ...
Ok(())
}
and attribute test functions with #[tokio::test]
#[tokio::test]
async fn my_test() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// your code ...
Ok(())
}
Create a client
Build a transport to make API requests to Elasticsearch using the TransportBuilder
,
which allows setting of proxies, authentication schemes, certificate validation, and
other transport related settings.
To create a client to make API calls to Elasticsearch running on https://localhost:9200
use elasticsearch::Elasticsearch;
fn main() {
let client = Elasticsearch::default();
}
Alternatively, you can create a client to make API calls against Elasticsearch running on a specific url
use elasticsearch::{
Elasticsearch, Error,
http::transport::Transport
};
fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let transport = Transport::single_node("https://example.com")?;
let client = Elasticsearch::new(transport);
Ok(())
}
If you're running against an Elasticsearch deployment in Elastic Cloud, a client can be created using a Cloud ID and credentials retrieved from the Cloud web console
use elasticsearch::{
auth::Credentials,
Elasticsearch, Error,
http::transport::Transport,
};
fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let cloud_id = "cluster_name:Y2xvdWQtZW5kcG9pbnQuZXhhbXBsZSQzZGFkZjgyM2YwNTM4ODQ5N2VhNjg0MjM2ZDkxOGExYQ==";
// can use other types of Credentials too, like Bearer or ApiKey
let credentials = Credentials::Basic("<username>".into(), "<password>".into());
let transport = Transport::cloud(cloud_id, credentials)?;
let client = Elasticsearch::new(transport);
Ok(())
}
More control over how a Transport
is built can be
achieved using TransportBuilder
to build a transport, and
passing it to Elasticsearch::new()
create a new instance of Elasticsearch
use url::Url;
use elasticsearch::{
Error, Elasticsearch,
http::transport::{TransportBuilder,SingleNodeConnectionPool},
};
fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let url = Url::parse("https://example.com")?;
let conn_pool = SingleNodeConnectionPool::new(url);
let transport = TransportBuilder::new(conn_pool).disable_proxy().build()?;
let client = Elasticsearch::new(transport);
Ok(())
}
You can also configure the list of nodes of an Elasticsearch cluster using the MultiNodeConnectionPool
, and the client will do a round-robin load balancing among those nodes. It can also periodically re-seed the list of nodes by querying the cluster.
Making API calls
The following will execute a POST
request to /_search?allow_no_indices=true
with
a JSON body of {"query":{"match_all":{}}}
use elasticsearch::{Elasticsearch, Error, SearchParts};
use serde_json::{json, Value};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let client = Elasticsearch::default();
// make a search API call
let search_response = client
.search(SearchParts::None)
.body(json!({
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}))
.allow_no_indices(true)
.send()
.await?;
// get the HTTP response status code
let status_code = search_response.status_code();
// read the response body. Consumes search_response
let response_body = search_response.json::<Value>().await?;
// read fields from the response body
let took = response_body["took"].as_i64().unwrap();
Ok(())
}
The client provides functions on each API builder struct for all query string parameters available for that API. APIs with multiple URI path variants, where some can contain parts parameters, are modelled as enums.
Elasticsearch
also has an async send
function on the root that allows sending an
API call to an endpoint not represented as an API function, for example, experimental
and beta APIs
use elasticsearch::{http::Method, Elasticsearch, Error, SearchParts};
use http::HeaderMap;
use serde_json::Value;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let client = Elasticsearch::default();
let body = b"{\"query\":{\"match_all\":{}}}";
let response = client
.send(
Method::Post,
SearchParts::Index(&["tweets"]).url().as_ref(),
HeaderMap::new(),
Option::<&Value>::None,
Some(body.as_ref()),
None,
)
.await?;
Ok(())
}
