ElasticSearch Component

Available as of Camel 2.11

The ElasticSearch component allows you to interface with an ElasticSearch server.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

elasticsearch://[clusterName]?[options]

if you want to run against a local (in JVM/classloader) ElasticSearch server, just set the clusterName value in the URI to "local". See the client guide for more details.

Endpoint Options

The following options may be configured on the ElasticSearch endpoint. All are required to be set as either an endpoint URI parameter or as a header (headers override endpoint properties)

Message Operations

The following ElasticSearch operations are currently supported. Simply set an endpoint URI option or exchange header with a key of "operation" and a value set to one of the following. Some operations also require other parameters or the message body to be set.

Index Example

Below is a simple INDEX example

from("direct:index")
.to("elasticsearch://local?operation=INDEX&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet");

<route>
    <from uri="direct:index" />
    <to uri="elasticsearch://local?operation=INDEX&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet"/>
</route>

A client would simply need to pass a body message containing a Map to the route. The result body contains the indexId created.

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("content", "test");
String indexId = template.requestBody("direct:index", map, String.class);
