Introduction
============

nginx-elastic-client is a nginx module which allow to proxy to elastic server with given pre-defined/dynamic command.

Usage
=======
### 0. Setup your elastic upstream
```nginx
# nginx.conf
upstream elastic_upstream {
server 127.0.0.1:9200;
}
```

### 1. Simple create index command, please noted that http method is defined inside command, it regardless what you called to nginx.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send PUT /testindex/testdoc/100;
elastic_query '{
"testname": "mytest"
}';
}
}
```

### 2. If you don't want any command inside config, just pass ngixn variables to the elastic host, please setup the config below, you may refer the [nginx variables](https://gist.github.com/esfand/8262283) for more details
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....

location / {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send $request_method $uri?$query_string;
elastic_query $request_body;
}
}
```

### 3. Create index based on your args, for example /test?new_id=Staff1232
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send PUT /testindex/testdoc/$arg_new_id;
elastic_query '{
"testname": "mytest-$arg_new_id"
}';
}
}
```

### 4. search all
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search/;
elastic_query '{"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}';
}
}
```

### 5. search all but group the docs by index.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search?size=100 index_docs;

elastic_query '{"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}';
}
}
```

### 6. search all but skipmeta data, keep index, type, and id.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search skipmeta;

elastic_query '{"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}';
}
}
```

### 7. search all but source only data.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search source;

elastic_query '{"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}';
}
}
```

### 8. search with dynamic input.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search;
elastic_query $request_body;
}

location /test2 {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send POST /testindex/testdoc/_search;
elastic_query '{"query": {"match" : {"$arg_field" : "$arg_value"}}}';
}
}
```

### 9. Delete index.
```nginx
# nginx.conf

server {
....
location /test {
elastic_pass http://elastic_upstream;
elastic_send DELETE /testindex/;
}
}
```

Test
=====

It depends on nginx test suite libs, please refer [test-nginx](https://github.com/openresty/test-nginx) for installation.

export PATH=/path/to/nginx-dirname:$PATH
sudo TEST_NGINX_SLEEP=0.3 prove t
```

Why need this
==============

Not everyone knows how to query elasticsearch, some client might prefer pass the argument rather than query themselves.

The query inside the nginx.conf has version controlled, maintained, tracked and it's transparent to every of your team member. Central based and pass to multiple elastic server.

Known issue faster, make change 1 to every client, if many client has their on client query logic, the issue will be hard to maintained.

Client can be Zero Down time! nginx -s reload make the changed.

Nginx is reliable proxy server, the client is auto load-balance upstream to elasticsearch server.
