Index document
editIndex document
editThe following example indexes a JSON document into an index called twitter, under a type called tweet, with id valued 1:
import static org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentFactory.*; IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", "1") .setSource(jsonBuilder() .startObject() .field("user", "kimchy") .field("postDate", new Date()) .field("message", "trying out Elasticsearch") .endObject() ) .execute() .actionGet();
Note that you can also index your documents as JSON String and that you don’t have to give an ID:
String json = "{" + "\"user\":\"kimchy\"," + "\"postDate\":\"2013-01-30\"," + "\"message\":\"trying out Elasticsearch\"" + "}"; IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet") .setSource(json) .execute() .actionGet();
IndexResponse
object will give you a report:
// Index name String _index = response.getIndex(); // Type name String _type = response.getType(); // Document ID (generated or not) String _id = response.getId(); // Version (if it's the first time you index this document, you will get: 1) long _version = response.getVersion(); // isCreated() is true if the document is a new one, false if it has been updated boolean created = response.isCreated();
