Elasticsearch from Python Programming

In the last chapter, we introduced Java programming with Elasticsearch. A sample Spring Boot project is provided to demonstrate the programming technique for both the high-level and low-level REST clients. We also used Swagger UI to create an interface to test the REST API. To make a long story short, since the transport client will not be supported anytime soon, the REST client is the method you need to go with when you program with the Java language. In this chapter, we are going to introduce the Python Elasticsearch client. You will learn about two Elasticsearch client packages, elasticsearch-py and elasticsearch-dsl-py. The elasticsearch-py package is the official low-level client for Elasticsearch. The goal of the Python package is to provide common ground for all Elasticsearch-related code in Python. Elasticsearch DSL is a high-level...
