NAME

       Search::Elasticsearch::TestServer - A helper class to launch Elasticsearch nodes

VERSION

       version 5.01

SYNOPSIS

           use Search::Elasticsearch;
           use Search::Elasticsearch::TestServer;

           my $server = Search::Elasticsearch::TestServer->new(
               es_home   => '/path/to/elasticsearch',
           );

           my $nodes = $server->start;
           my $es    = Search::Elasticsearch->new( nodes => $nodes );
           # run tests
           $server->shutdown;

DESCRIPTION

       The Search::Elasticsearch::TestServer class can be used to launch one or more instances of
       Elasticsearch for testing purposes.  The nodes will be shutdown automatically.

METHODS

   "new()"
           my $server = Search::Elasticsearch::TestServer->new(
               es_home   => '/path/to/elasticsearch',
               instances => 1,
               http_port => 9600,
               es_port   => 9700,
               conf      => ['script.disable_dynamic=false'],
           );

       Params:

       •   "es_home"

           Required. Must point to the Elasticsearch home directory, which contains
           "./bin/elasticsearch".

       •   "instances"

           The number of nodes to start. Defaults to 1

       •   "http_port"

           The port to use for HTTP. If multiple instances are started, the "http_port" will be
           incremented for each subsequent instance. Defaults to 9600.

       •   "es_port"

           The port to use for Elasticsearch's internal transport. If multiple instances are
           started, the "es_port" will be incremented for each subsequent instance.  Defaults to
           9700

       •   "conf"

           An array containing any extra startup options that should be passed to Elasticsearch.

"start()"

           $nodes = $server->start;

       Starts the required instances and returns an array ref containing the IP and port of each
       node, suitable for passing to "new()" in Search::Elasticsearch:

           $es = Search::Elasticsearch->new( nodes => $nodes );

"shutdown()"

           $server->shutdown;

       Kills the running instances.  This will be called automatically when $server goes out of
       scope or if the program receives a "SIGINT".
