Getting Started

Installation

The package use semantic versioning. It means that major versions could include breaking changes. It's highly recommended to specify package version range in your setup/requirements file e.g. package>=1.0,<2.0.

pip install tableschema-elasticsearch

Usage overview

import elasticsearch
import jsontableschema_es

INDEX_NAME = 'testing_index'

# Connect to Elasticsearch instance running on localhost
es=elasticsearch.Elasticsearch()
storage=jsontableschema_es.Storage(es)

# List all indexes
print(list(storage.buckets))

# Create a new index
storage.create('test', {
         'fields': [
             {
                 'name': 'num',
                 'type': 'number'
             }
         ]
     }
)

# Write data to index
l=list(storage.write(INDEX_NAME, ({'num':i} for i in range(1000)), ['num']))
print(len(l))
print(l[:10], '...')

l=list(storage.write(INDEX_NAME, ({'num':i} for i in range(500,1500)), ['num']))
print(len(l))
print(l[:10], '...')

# Read all data from index
storage=jsontableschema_es.Storage(es)
print(list(storage.buckets))
l=list(storage.read(INDEX_NAME))
print(len(l))
print(l[:10])

In this driver elasticsearch is used as the db wrapper. We can get storage this way:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from jsontableschema_elasticsearch import Storage

engine = Elasticsearch()
storage = Storage(engine)

Then we could interact with storage ('buckets' are ElasticSearch indexes in this context):

storage.buckets # iterator over bucket names
storage.create('bucket', descriptor,
               reindex=False,
               always_recreate=False,
               mapping_generator_cls=None)
        # reindex will copy existing documents from an existing index with the same name (in case of a mapping conflict)
        # always_recreate will always recreate an index, even if it already exists. default is to update mappings only.
        # mapping_generator_cls allows customization of the generated mapping
storage.delete('bucket')
storage.describe('bucket') # return descriptor, not implemented yet
storage.iter('bucket') # yield rows
storage.read('bucket') # return rows
storage.write('bucket', rows, primary_key,
              as_generator=False)
        # primary_key is a list of field names which will be used to generate document ids

When creating indexes, we always create an index with a semi-random name and a matching alias that points to it. This allows us to decide whether to re-index documents whenever we're re-creating an index, or to discard the existing records.

Mappings

When creating indexes, the tableschema types are converted to ES types and a mapping is generated for the index.

Some special properties in the schema provide extra information for generating the mapping:

  • array types need also to have the es:itemType property which specifies the inner data type of array items.
  • object types need also to have the es:schema property which provides a tableschema for the inner document contained in that object (or have es:enabled=false to disable indexing of that field).

Example:

{
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "my-number",
      "type": "number"
    },
    {
      "name": "my-array-of-dates",
      "type": "array",
      "es:itemType": "date"
    },
    {
      "name": "my-person-object",
      "type": "object",
      "es:schema": {
        "fields": [
          {"name": "name", "type": "string"},
          {"name": "surname", "type": "string"},
          {"name": "age", "type": "integer"},
          {"name": "date-of-birth", "type": "date", "format": "%Y-%m-%d"}
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "my-library",
      "type": "array",
      "es:itemType": "object",
      "es:schema": {
        "fields": [
          {"name": "title", "type": "string"},
          {"name": "isbn", "type": "string"},
          {"name": "num-of-pages", "type": "integer"}
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "my-user-provded-object",
      "type": "object",
      "es:enabled": false
    }
  ]
}

Custom mappings

By providing a custom mapping generator class (via mapping_generator_cls), inheriting from the MappingGenerator class you should be able

API Reference

Storage

Storage(self, es=None)

Elasticsearch Tabular Storage.

Package implements Tabular Storage interface (see full documentation on the link):

Storage

Only additional API is documented

Arguments

  • es (object): ElasticSearch instance

storage.create

storage.create(self, bucket, descriptor, reindex=False, always_recreate=False, mapping_generator_cls=None, index_settings=None)

Create index with mapping by schema.

Arguments

  • bucket(str): Name of index to be created
  • descriptor: dDscriptor of index to be created
  • always_recreate: Delete index if already exists (otherwise just update mapping)
  • reindex: On mapping mismath, automatically create new index and migrate existing indexes to it
  • mapping_generator_cls: subclass of MappingGenerator
  • index_settings: settings which will be used in index creation

storage.delete

storage.delete(self, bucket=None)

Delete index with mapping by schema.

Arguments

  • bucket(str): Name of index to delete
