Elasticsearch Rest
Since Camel 2.21
Only producer is supported
Since Camel 2.21
The ElasticSearch component allows you to interface with an ElasticSearch 6.x API using the REST Client library.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-elasticsearch-rest</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
Endpoint Options
The Elasticsearch Rest component supports 13 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
lazyStartProducer (producer) |
Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. |
false |
boolean |
autowiredEnabled (advanced) |
Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. |

Message Operations
The following ElasticSearch operations are currently supported. Simply set an endpoint URI option or exchange header with a key of "operation" and a value set to one of the following. Some operations also require other parameters or the message body to be set.
operation | message body | description |
---|---|---|
Index |
Map, String, byte[], XContentBuilder or IndexRequest content to index |
Adds content to an index and returns the content’s indexId in the body. You can set the indexId by setting the message header with the key "indexId". |
GetById |
String or GetRequest index id of content to retrieve |
Retrieves the specified index and returns a GetResult object in the body |
Delete |
String or DeleteRequest index name and type of content to delete |
Deletes the specified indexName and indexType and returns a DeleteResponse object in the body |
DeleteIndex |
String or DeleteRequest index name of the index to delete |
Deletes the specified indexName and returns a status code the body |
BulkIndex |
a List, BulkRequest, or Collection of any type that is already accepted (XContentBuilder, Map, byte[], String) |
Adds content to an index and return a List of the id of the successfully indexed documents in the body |
Bulk |
a List, BulkRequest, or Collection of any type that is already accepted (XContentBuilder, Map, byte[], String) |
Adds content to an index and returns the BulkItemResponse[] object in the body |
Search |
Map, String or SearchRequest |
Search the content with the map of query string |
MultiSearch |
MultiSearchRequest |
Multiple search in one |
Exists |
Index name(indexName) as header |
Checks the index exists or not and returns a Boolean flag in the body |
Update |
Map, UpdateRequest, String, byte[] or XContentBuilder content to update |
Updates content to an index and returns the content’s indexId in the body. |
Ping |
None |
Pings the remote Elasticsearch cluster and returns true if the ping succeeded, false otherwise |
Configure the component and enable basic authentication
To use the Elasticsearch component it has to be configured with a minimum configuration.
ElasticsearchComponent elasticsearchComponent = new ElasticsearchComponent();
elasticsearchComponent.setHostAddresses("myelkhost:9200");
camelContext.addComponent("elasticsearch-rest", elasticsearchComponent);
For basic authentication with elasticsearch or using reverse http proxy in front of the elasticsearch cluster, simply setup basic authentication and SSL on the component like the example below
ElasticsearchComponent elasticsearchComponent = new ElasticsearchComponent();
elasticsearchComponent.setHostAddresses("myelkhost:9200");
elasticsearchComponent.setUser("elkuser");
elasticsearchComponent.setPassword("secure!!");
elasticsearchComponent.setEnableSSL(true);
camelContext.addComponent("elasticsearch-rest", elasticsearchComponent);
Index Example
Below is a simple INDEX example
from("direct:index")
.to("elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Index&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet");
<route>
<from uri="direct:index" />
<to uri="elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Index&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet"/>
</route>
For this operation you’ll need to specify a indexId header.
A client would simply need to pass a body message containing a Map to the route. The result body contains the indexId created.
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("content", "test");
String indexId = template.requestBody("direct:index", map, String.class);
Search Example
Searching on specific field(s) and value use the Operation ´Search´. Pass in the query JSON String or the Map
from("direct:search")
.to("elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Search&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet");
<route>
<from uri="direct:search" />
<to uri="elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Search&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet"/>
</route>
String query = "{\"query\":{\"match\":{\"content\":\"new release of ApacheCamel\"}}}";
SearchHits response = template.requestBody("direct:search", query, SearchHits.class);
Search on specific field(s) using Map.
Map<String, Object> actualQuery = new HashMap<>();
actualQuery.put("content", "new release of ApacheCamel");
Map<String, Object> match = new HashMap<>();
match.put("match", actualQuery);
Map<String, Object> query = new HashMap<>();
query.put("query", match);
SearchHits response = template.requestBody("direct:search", query, SearchHits.class);
Search using Elasticsearch scroll api in order to fetch all results.
from("direct:search")
.to("elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Search&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet&useScroll=true&scrollKeepAliveMs=30000");
<route>
<from uri="direct:search" />
<to uri="elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Search&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet&useScroll=true&scrollKeepAliveMs=30000"/>
</route>
String query = "{\"query\":{\"match\":{\"content\":\"new release of ApacheCamel\"}}}";
try (ElasticsearchScrollRequestIterator response = template.requestBody("direct:search", query, ElasticsearchScrollRequestIterator.class)) {
// do something smart with results
}
Split EIP can also be used.
from("direct:search")
.to("elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=Search&indexName=twitter&indexType=tweet&useScroll=true&scrollKeepAliveMs=30000")
.split()
.body()
.streaming()
.to("mock:output")
.end();
MultiSearch Example
MultiSearching on specific field(s) and value use the Operation ´MultiSearch´. Pass in the MultiSearchRequest instance
from("direct:multiSearch")
.to("elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=MultiSearch");
<route>
<from uri="direct:multiSearch" />
<to uri="elasticsearch-rest://elasticsearch?operation=MultiSearch"/>
</route>
MultiSearch on specific field(s)
SearchRequest req = new SearchRequest();
req.indices("twitter");
req.types("tweet");
SearchRequest req1 = new SearchRequest();
req.indices("twitter");
req.types("tweets");
MultiSearchRequest request = new MultiSearchRequest().add(req1).add(req);
Item[] response = template.requestBody("direct:search", request, Item[].class);
Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
When using elasticsearch-rest with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-elasticsearch-rest-starter</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
The component supports 14 options, which are listed below.
