Overview

About

Maintained by Ralf HeroldCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Connect to 'Elasticsearch' and 'OpenSearch', 'NoSQL' databases built on the 'Java' Virtual Machine and using the 'Apache' 'Lucene' library. Interacts with the 'Elasticsearch' 'HTTP' API' (https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) and the 'OpenSearch' 'HTTP' 'API' (https://opensearch.org/). Includes functions for setting connection details to 'Elasticsearch' and 'OpenSearch' instances, loading bulk data, searching for documents with both 'HTTP' query variables and 'JSON' based body requests. In addition, 'elastic' provides functions for interacting with APIs for 'indices', documents, nodes, clusters, an interface to the cat API, and more.

Changes in 1.2.2

fixed minor issues of some functions for recent OpenSearch and Elasticsearch versions
fixed some tests and CI testing (Elasticsearch 8 and 9, OpenSearch 2 and 3)

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("elastic", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("rfhb/elastic")

Development version from rfhb/elastic. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-elastic

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-elastic

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-elastic

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
