8.5.0 Release notes

edit

Client

edit
  • Updates dependency on elastic-transport. With the latest release of elastic-transport - v8.1.0 - this gem now supports Faraday v2. When you upgrade your gems, 8.1.0 will be installed. This supports both Faraday v1 and Faraday v2. The main change on dependencies when using Faraday v2 is all adapters, except for the default net_http one, have been moved out of Faraday into separate gems. This means if you’re not using the default adapter and you migrate to Faraday v2, you’ll need to add the adapter gems to your Gemfile.

These are the gems required for the different adapters with Faraday 2, instead of the libraries on which they were based:

# HTTPCLient
gem 'faraday-httpclient'
# NetHTTPPersistent
gem 'faraday-net_http_persistent'
# Patron
gem 'faraday-patron'
# Typhoeus
gem 'faraday-typhoeus'

Things should work fine if you migrate to Faraday 2 as long as you include the adapter (unless you’re using the default one net-http), but worst case scenario, you can always lock the version of Faraday in your project to 1.x: gem 'faraday', '~> 1'

Troubleshooting

If you see a message like: :adapter is not registered on Faraday::Adapter (Faraday::Error) Then you probably need to include the adapter library in your gemfile and require it.

Please submit an issue if you encounter any problems.

App Search

edit
  • Adds precision_enabled (Boolean) to put_search_settings. See here for more information.

8.4 Release notes

edit

8.4.0 Release notes

edit
  • Tested versions of Ruby for 8.4.0: Ruby (MRI) 2.7, 3.0 and 3.1, JRuby 9.3.
  • Updated for compatibility with Elastic Enterprise Search 8.4’s API.
  • Fixed client name String in meta header

Changes to Elasticsearch Search in App Search

edit

The Elasticsearch search API for App Search is a beta feature. Beta features are subject to change and are not covered by the support SLA of generally available (GA) features. Elastic plans to promote this feature to GA in a future release.

The Elasticsearch Search API search_es_search has been updated to be more consistent with the Elasticsearch _search API.

In the previous version, a request object was required in the request:

# DEPRECATED - This worked for 8.3 but has been updated in 8.4:
es_request = { body: { query: { bool: { must: { term: { title: 'test' } } } } } }
client.search_es_search(engine_name, body: { request: es_request })

This has been simplified to:

es_request = { query: { bool: { must: { term: { title: 'test' } } } } }
client.search_es_search(engine_name, body: es_request)

8.3 Release notes

App Search

edit

New APIs

edit

  • Adds Elasticsearch Search API (In Technical Preview): Utilize the API to passthrough and execute raw Elasticsearch queries against the indices that power Enterprise Search engines.

    es_request = { body: { query: { bool: { must: { term: { title: 'test' } } } } } }
client.search_es_search(engine_name, body: { request: es_request })

  • Adds Search Explain API: Submit a search and retrieve an Elasticsearch query.

    response = client.search_explain(engine_name, body: { query: 'test' })
response.body['query_string']
# => "GET enterprise-search-engine-app-search-explain/_search"

8.1 Release notes

edit

8.1.1 Release notes

edit
  • Adds tracer parameters to enable tracing in elastic-transport. See logging for more information.
  • Updates Workplace Search OAuth implementation. See OAuth Authentication for changes in the OAuth process.

8.1.0 Release notes

edit

General

edit
  • Tested with Elastic Enterprise Search API version 8.1.0.
  • Tested with Ruby 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, JRuby 9.3. Older versions of Ruby have reached end of life and been removed from the testing matrices. Minimum required Ruby version is Ruby 2.6 to keep compatibility with JRuby 9.3, but it may be upgraded to 2.7 once JRuby 9.4 comes out.

edit
  • Adds tracer parameters to enable tracing in elastic-transport. See logging for more information.
  • Updates Workplace Search OAuth implementation. See OAuth Authentication for changes in the OAuth process.

8.0.0 Release notes

edit

General

edit

First release in the 8.x branch of the client.

  • Tested with Elastic Enterprise Search API version 8.0-SNAPSHOT.
  • Tested with Ruby 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, JRuby 9.3. Older versions of Ruby have reached end of life and been removed from the testing matrices. Minimum required Ruby version is Ruby 2.6 to keep compatibility with JRuby 9.3, but it may be upgraded to 2.7 once JRuby 9.4 comes out.
  • API: Updated endpoints that make a GET or DELETE requests to not have a body. Requests with PUT and POST now expect most parameters to be in the request body. Parameters that were available as both arguments and in the body are now just in the body.
  • API: An updated generator is being used to generate the endpoint code. The source code documentation has better typing hints for parameters.

Response Object

edit

  • Requests now return an Elastic::API::Response object. This behaves exactly the same as the previous response (Elastic::Transport::Transport::Response) but expands its functionality. With the previous response object, the body of the response had to be accessed calling the body method on the response. This new object behaves like the response.body Hash object, except when the status or headers are sent to it. This makes it easier to access the response data. Example:

    client = Elastic::EnterpriseSearch::Client.new(
  host: 'http://localhost:3002',
  http_auth: {user: 'elastic', password: 'changeme'}
)
response = client.health
response.class
# => Elastic::API::Response
response['version']['number']
# => "8.1.4"
response.body['version']['number']
# => "8.1.4"
response.status
# => 200
response.headers
# =>
{"date"=>"Tue, 10 May 2022 09:01:10 GMT",
 "content-type"=>"application/json;charset=utf-8",
 "etag"=>"W/\"etag--gzip\"",
 "cache-control"=>"max-age=0, private, must-revalidate",
 "x-request-id"=>"id",
 "x-runtime"=>"0.023468",
 "vary"=>"Accept-Encoding, User-Agent",
 "content-length"=>"755",
 "server"=>"Jetty(9.4.43.v20210629)"}

App Search

edit
API Changes
edit
  • API Logs: Removes date parameters for filters. This API requires a nested date object under filters (now passed in via the body) containing from and to keys formatted in accordance with RFC3339. The App Search client provides the helper function date_to_rfc3339 which receives a date String and converts it to the right format.
  • Crawler API : Internal Url updated from v0 to v1. create_crawler_crawl_rule body is a required parameter (order, policy, rule, pattern). create_crawler_entry_point body is required (for value). create_crawler_sitemap body is required (for url). put_crawler_crawl_rule body is required (order, policy, rule, pattern). put_crawler_crawl_schedule body is required (frequency, unit). put_crawler_entry_point body is required (for value). put_crawler_sitemap body is required (url).
  • Curations API: parameters for create_curation and put_curation must be passed in inside the body parameter now.
  • Engine APIs: create_engine removes the name parameter. It must be passed in inside the body parameter now.
  • Log Click: log_clickthrough now requires body, the parameter query and document_id are required.
  • Search: When using search, query can no longer be sent as an argument. The method will raise ArgumentError if no body is sent, since query is a required parameter in the body.
  • APIs where body has been removed since it’s not used: delete_engine, engine, list_engines, curation, delete_curation, schema, api_key, delete_api_key, list_api_keys, delete_synonym_set, list_synonym_set, synonym_set, list_documents, reset_search_settings, search_settings, crawler_active_crawl_request, crawler_crawl_request, crawler_crawl_schedule, crawler_domain, crawler_metrics, crawler_overview, crawler_process_crawl, crawler_process_crawl_denied_urls, crawler_user_agent, delete_crawler_active_crawl_request, delete_crawler_crawl_rule, delete_crawler_crawl_schedule, delete_crawler_domain, delete_crawler_entry_point, delete_crawler_sitemap, list_crawler_crawl_requests, list_crawler_process_crawls.
New APIs
edit
  • list_crawler_domain: Lists crawler domains given an engine.

  • Adaptive Relevance Suggestion APIs:

    • adaptive_relevance_suggestions - Retrieves adaptive relevance for a single query.
    • list_adaptive_relevance_suggestions - List the adaptive relevance suggestions for a given engine.

  • current_user removed get_token parameter.
  • Analytics: create_analytics_events will raise ArgumentError if body is missing (Required: type, query_id, page, content_source_id, document_id, rank)
  • Content Sources: create_content_source will raise ArgumentError if body is missing (Required: name). name cannot be passed in as a parameter anymore, needs to be in the body. put_content_source will raise ArgumentError if body is missing (Required: name, is_searchable). put_content_source_icons will raise ArgumentError if body is missing.

  • External Identities: create_external_identity will raise ArgumentError if body is missing (Required: external_user_id, external_user_properties, permissions). Body parameters have changed:

    body = {
  external_user_id: external_user_id,
  permissions: [],
  external_user_properties: [
    'attribute_name' => '_elasticsearch_username',
    'attribute_value' => 'fernando'
  ]
}
client.create_external_identity(content_source_id, body: body)

    In delete_external_identity, external_identity and put_external_identity the required parameter changed from user to external_user_id. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-external-identities-api.html

7.15 Release notes

edit

7.15.1 Release notes

edit

Dependency fix

edit

Updates dependency on elasticsearch-transport to be more open. At least 7.11 is required, but this way it can be used with different versions of the elasticsearch gem (bigger than or equal to 7.11) in the same project, without a conflict in elasticsearch-transport. When instantiating transport, we now check if version is < 7.14 so we use the right class.

7.15.0 Release notes

edit

General

edit
  • Tested with Elastic Enterprise Search API version 7.15.0.
  • Better source code documentation in general for API endpoints.

App Search

edit
  • The test suite was migrated to full integration testing in Jenkins. We were using VCR for testing the API, but now we’re running the API tests against an instance of Elastic Enterprise Search.
  • Some APIs that used to work with GET query parameters in App Search are now POST and the parameters being sent with the body. We’ll use the body from 7.15, but we’ll keep supporting arguments parameters in 7.x for backwards compatibility. Some parameters previously required through the generated code don’t throw an exception anymore and the error is delegated to server. As mentioned, these should go through the body instead of part of the query parameters, but we still support sending them as query parameters in 7.x to keep backwards compatibility.
Web Crawler API
edit

The Elastic Enterprise Search web crawler API is a beta feature. Beta features are subject to change and are not covered by the support SLA of general release (GA) features. Elastic plans to promote this feature to GA in a future release.
