Small library to access Elasticsearch hosted by AWS.

aws-elasticsearch-php-handler

PHP Handler to connect to AWS ElasticSearch service.

Installation

Use composer to install. Simply add "sportarchive/aws-elasticsearch-php-handler": "dev-master" to your composer requirements and update., _(*1)

Instructions

Use basic lucene query syntax to query for results. You can also supply a max count and sort order in the query.

$client = new ElasticsearchHandler(["https://yourawselasticsearchendpoint.aws-region.es.amazonaws.com:443"]);

$ESindex = "index_name";
$EStype = "object_type";
$query = "key:value AND foo:bar";
$count = 12;
$sort = "anotherkey:asc";

$results = $client->raw($ESindex, $query, $count, $sort, $EStype);

The count, sort, and type are not required. If they are not supplied, these values will default to:, _(*2)

$count = 10;
$sort = "";
$EStype = $ESindex;

The $results variable will be the raw data returned from the elasticsearch official php library, and includes a variety of metadata., _(*3)

If you only need the source objects that were stored, use the convenience function query instead.

$results = $client->query($ESindex, $query, $count, $sort, $EStype);

The $results variable will now be an array containing the source objects for your query. Query simply parses the data before returning to make it easier to use., _(*4)

If you wish to simply get the count for the total number of results, there is also a count function.

$client = new ElasticsearchHandler(["https://yourawselasticsearchendpoint.aws-region.es.amazonaws.com:443"]);

$ESindex = "index_name";
$EStype = "object_type";
$query = "key:value AND foo:bar";

$results = $client->raw($ESindex, $query, $EStype);

This function acts the same way as raw and query, but instead uses Elasticsearch's search_type:count so it does not actually retrieve or return the data., _(*5)
