I wanted to learn ElasticSearch using the Scala library Elastic4s.
To find your data just brew info elasticsearch and check where the data folder is stored. This comment has been minimized. Sign in to view. Copy link Quote reply. Brew the Elasticsearch flavor: 1. Brew install elasticsearch. Start and check if the Elasticsearch server install is a success. Now that we have Elasticsearch installed, let's.
First let us look at the SBT imports
Here the entry log4j entries are a real life safer. i would have missed many issues with my applicaiton had I not been prodent enough to import them. Next we need to configure the log4j logger so that we can troubleshoot our appliction easily. Create a file called log4j.xml in
src/main/resources
Installing elastic search on my remote server was pretty easy
- brew install elasticsearch
- search for a file called elasticsearch.yml and add the following line to itnetwork.host: myremote-server
- brew services start elasticsearch
Its import to set the bind address otherwise you will not be able to connect remotely to elastic search. I always install all server products remotely so that they don’t slow my MBP down.
In order to ensure that our product is up and running point your browser to http://myremote-server:9200. You should see the following output
Bbedit markdown. Make a note your the cluster name because this is needed. A lot of documentation on the internet assumes that your cluster name is elasticsearch and that is why programs fail to connect to elastic search.
Now we will write two applications. One using TcpClient and other using HttpClient to interact with the ElasticSearch server.
TcpClient.
In order to connect to elasticsearch using the TcpClient, we must be aware of our cluster name.
Note that I had to specify the name of the cluster in the properties. without this the application would not have worked.
Now we need to complete 3 tasks. We need to create an Index, Insert a document in that index and finally query the document. To complete each task you will need to familiarize yourself with the Elastic4s DSL. The pattern to use the DSL is pretty consistent. you first create the DSL command then execute the command using the client.
- Create Index DSL.
createIndex('bands').mappings(mapping('artist') as(textField('name')))
- Insert a document
indexInto('bands' / 'artists') doc Artist('nirvana') refresh(RefreshPolicy.IMMEDIATE)
- Query the document
search('bands' / 'artists') query 'nirvana'
Now all we need to do is to tie in these 3 DSL commands into our application and execute them.
We will wrap these in Functions and then invoke those functions in a monadic way. Function to create the index
Function to Insert a document in the Index
And the Function to query the document
Now we tie these together as
HttpClient.
Establishing a connection via the HttpClient is a little easier because we can connect just with the server name and port (without knowing the cluster name)
Brew Elasticsearch Start
The process of using the DSL is the same. We just have to be careful that we import the Http DSL
com.sksamuel.elastic4s.http.ElasticDsl._
I just imported the previous TcpClient DSL at first and my application had tons of compiler errors.Once again we write our 3 functions to create the index, insert documents in the index and then query.
Latest citrix receiver mac. and finally we can connect all the 3 functions by means of a simple for statement
Brew Elasticsearch Reviews
The whole application can be found at my github

Elastic publishes Homebrew formulae so you can install Elasticsearch with theHomebrew package manager.
To install with Homebrew, you first need to tap theElastic Homebrew repository:
Once you’ve tapped the Elastic Homebrew repo, you can use
brew install
toinstall Elasticsearch:This installs the most recently released distribution of Elasticsearch.
When you install Elasticsearch with
brew install
the config files, logs,and data directory are stored in the following locations.Type | Description | Default Location | Setting |
---|---|---|---|
home | Elasticsearch home directory or $ES_HOME | /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked/elasticsearch-full | |
bin | Binary scripts including elasticsearch to start a node and elasticsearch-plugin to install plugins | /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked/elasticsearch-full/bin | |
conf | Configuration files including elasticsearch.yml | /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch | |
data | The location of the data files of each index / shard allocated on the node. Can hold multiple locations. | /usr/local/var/lib/elasticsearch | path.data |
Log files location. | /usr/local/var/log/elasticsearch | path.logs | |
plugins | Plugin files location. Each plugin will be contained in a subdirectory. | /usr/local/var/homebrew/linked/elasticsearch/plugins |
You now have a test Elasticsearch environment set up. Before you startserious development or go into production with Elasticsearch, you must do some additionalsetup:
- Learn how to configure Elasticsearch.
- Configure important Elasticsearch settings.
- Configure important system settings.
