DESCRIPTION
The Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Direct class provides the Elasticsearch 2.x
compatible client returned by:
$e = Search::Elasticsearch->new(
client => "2_0::Direct"
);
It is intended to be as close as possible to the native REST API that Elasticsearch uses,
so that it is easy to translate the Elasticsearch reference documentation
<http://www.elasticsearch/guide> for an API to the equivalent in this client.
This class provides the methods for document CRUD, bulk document CRUD and search. It also
provides access to clients for managing indices and the cluster.
CONVENTIONS
Parameter passing
Parameters can be passed to any request method as a list or as a hash reference. The
following two statements are equivalent:
$e->search( size => 10 );
$e->search({size => 10});
Path parameters
Any values that should be included in the URL path, eg "/{index}/{type}" should be passed
as top level parameters:
$e->search( index => 'my_index', type => 'my_type' );
Alternatively, you can specify a "path" parameter directly:
$e->search( path => '/my_index/my_type' );
Query-string parameters
Any values that should be included in the query string should be passed as top level
parameters:
$e->search( size => 10 );
If you pass in a "\%params" hash, then it will be included in the query string parameters
without any error checking. The following:
$e->search( size => 10, params => { from => 5, size => 5 })
would result in this query string:
?from=5&size=10
Body parameter
The request body should be passed in the "body" key:
$e->search(
body => {
query => {...}
}
);
The body can also be a UTF8-decoded string, which will be converted into UTF-8 bytes and
passed as is:
$e->indices->analyze( body => "The quick brown fox");
Filter path parameter
Any API which returns a JSON body accepts a "filter_path" parameter which will filter the
JSON down to only the specified paths. For instance, if you are running a search request
and only want the "total" hits and the "_source" field for each hit (without the "_id",
"_index" etc), you can do:
$e->search(
query => {...},
filter_path => [ 'hits.total', 'hits.hits._source' ]
);
Ignore parameter
Normally, any HTTP status code outside the 200-299 range will result in an error being
thrown. To suppress these errors, you can specify which status codes to ignore in the
"ignore" parameter.
$e->indices->delete(
index => 'my_index',
ignore => 404
);
This is most useful for Missing errors, which are triggered by a 404 status code when some
requested resource does not exist.
Multiple error codes can be specified with an array:
$e->indices->delete(
index => 'my_index',
ignore => [404,409]
);

DOCUMENT CRUD METHODS
These methods allow you to perform create, index, update and delete requests for single
documents:
"index()"
$response = $e->index(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # optional, otherwise auto-generated
body => { document } # required
);
The "index()" method is used to index a new document or to reindex an existing document.
Query string parameters:
"consistency",
"op_type",
"parent",
"refresh",
"routing",
"timeout",
"timestamp",
"ttl",
"version",
"version_type"
See the index docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
index_.html> for more information.
"create()"
$response = $e->create(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # optional, otherwise auto-generated
body => { document } # required
);
The "create()" method works exactly like the "index()" method, except that it will throw a
"Conflict" error if a document with the same "index", "type" and "id" already exists.
Query string parameters:
"consistency",
"op_type",
"parent",
"refresh",
"routing",
"timeout",
"timestamp",
"ttl",
"version",
"version_type"
See the create docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
create.html> for more information.
"get()"
$response = $e->get(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # required
);
The "get()" method will retrieve the document with the specified "index", "type" and "id",
or will throw a "Missing" error.
Query string parameters:
"_source",
"_source_exclude",
"_source_include",
"fields",
"parent",
"preference",
"realtime",
"refresh",
"routing",
"version",
"version_type"
See the get docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
get.html> for more information.
"get_source()"
$response = $e->get_source(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # required
);
The "get_source()" method works just like the "get()" method except that it returns just
the "_source" field (the value of the "body" parameter in the "index()" method) instead of
returning the "_source" field plus the document metadata, ie the "_index", "_type" etc.
Query string parameters:
"_source",
"_source_exclude",
"_source_include",
"parent",
"preference",
"realtime",
"refresh",
"routing",
"version",
"version_type"
See the get_source docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-get.html> for more
information.
"exists()"
$response = $e->exists(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # required
);
The "exists()" method returns 1 if a document with the specified "index", "type" and "id"
exists, or an empty string if it doesn't.
Query string parameters:
"parent",
"preference",
"realtime",
"refresh",
"routing"
See the exists docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
get.html> for more information.
"delete()"
$response = $e->delete(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # required
);
The "delete()" method will delete the document with the specified "index", "type" and
"id", or will throw a "Missing" error.
Query string parameters:
"consistency",
"parent",
"refresh",
"routing",
"timeout",
"version",
"version_type"
See the delete docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
delete.html> for more information.
"update()"
$response = $e->update(
index => 'index_name', # required
type => 'type_name', # required
id => 'doc_id', # required
body => { update } # required
);
The "update()" method updates a document with the corresponding "index", "type" and "id"
if it exists. Updates can be performed either by:
· providing a partial document to be merged in to the existing document:
$response = $e->update(
...,
body => {
doc => { new_field => 'new_value'},
}
);
· with an inline script:
$response = $e->update(
...,
body => {
script => {
inline => "ctx._source.counter += incr",
params => { incr => 5 }
}
}
);
Make sure you enable dynamic scripting
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html#enable-dynamic-scripting> and know its implications.
· with an indexed script:
$response = $e->update(
...,
body => {
script => {
id => $id,
params => { incr => 5 }
}
}
);
See indexed scripts
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html#_indexed_scripts> for more information.
· with a script stored as a file:
$response = $e->update(
...,
body => {
script => {
file => 'counter',
lang => 'groovy',
params => { incr => 5 }
}
}
);
See scripting docs
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html> for more information.
Query string parameters:
"consistency",
"fields",
"lang",

update.html> for more information.
"termvectors()"
$results = $e->termvectors(
index => $index, # required
type => $type, # required
id => $id, # optional
body => {...} # optional
)
The "termvectors()" method retrieves term and field statistics, positions, offsets and
payloads for the specified document, assuming that termvectors have been enabled.
Query string parameters:
"dfs",
"field_statistics",
"fields",
"offsets",
"parent",
"payloads",
"positions",
"preference",
"realtime",
"routing",

<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-termvectors.html> for
more information.
BULK DOCUMENT CRUD METHODS
The bulk document CRUD methods are used for running multiple CRUD actions within a single
request. By reducing the number of network requests that need to be made, bulk requests
greatly improve performance.
"bulk()"
$response = $e->bulk(
index => 'index_name', # required if type specified
type => 'type_name', # optional
body => [ actions ] # required
);
See Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Bulk and "bulk_helper()" for a helper module that
makes bulk indexing simpler to use.
The "bulk()" method can perform multiple "index()", "create()", "delete()" or "update()"
actions with a single request. The "body" parameter expects an array containing the list
of actions to perform.
An action consists of an initial metadata hash ref containing the action type, plus the
associated metadata, eg :
{ delete => { _index => 'index', _type => 'type', _id => 123 }}
The "index" and "create" actions then expect a hashref containing the document itself:
{ create => { _index => 'index', _type => 'type', _id => 123 }},
{ title => "A newly created document" }
And the "update" action expects a hashref containing the update commands, eg:
{ update => { _index => 'index', _type => 'type', _id => 123 }},
{ script => "ctx._source.counter+=1" }
Each action can include the same parameters that you would pass to the equivalent
"index()", "create()", "delete()" or "update()" request, except that "_index", "_type" and
"_id" must be specified with the preceding underscore. All other parameters can be
specified with or without the underscore.
For instance:
$response = $e->bulk(
index => 'index_name', # default index name
type => 'type_name', # default type name
body => [
# create action
{ create => {
_index => 'not_the_default_index',
_type => 'not_the_default_type',
_id => 123
}},
{ title => 'Foo' },
# index action
{ index => { _id => 124 }},
{ title => 'Foo' },
# delete action
{ delete => { _id => 125 }},
# update action
{ update => { _id => 126 }},
{ script => "ctx._source.counter+1" }
]
);
Each action is performed separately. One failed action will not cause the others to fail
as well.
Query string parameters:
"consistency",
"fields",
"refresh",
"routing",
"timeout"
See the bulk docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
bulk.html> for more information.
"bulk_helper()"
$bulk_helper = $e->bulk_helper( @args );
Returns a new instance of the class specified in the "bulk_helper_class", which defaults
to Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Bulk.
"mget()"
$results = $e->mget(
index => 'default_index', # optional, required when type specified
type => 'default_type', # optional
body => { docs or ids } # required
);
The "mget()" method will retrieve multiple documents with a single request. The "body"
consists of an array of documents to retrieve:
$results = $e->mget(
index => 'default_index',
type => 'default_type',
body => {
docs => [
{ _id => 1},
{ _id => 2, _type => 'not_the_default_type' }
]
}
);
You can also pass any of the other parameters that the "get()" request accepts.
If you have specified an "index" and "type", you can just include the "ids" of the
documents to retrieve:
$results = $e->mget(
index => 'default_index',
type => 'default_type',
body => {
ids => [ 1, 2, 3]
}
);
Query string parameters:
"_source",
"_source_exclude",
"_source_include",
"fields",
"preference",
"realtime",
"refresh"
See the mget docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-
multi-get.html> for more information.
"mtermvectors()"
$results = $e->mtermvectors(
index => $index, # required if type specified
type => $type, # optional
body => { } # optional
)
Runs multiple "termvector()" requests in a single request, eg:
$results = $e->mtermvectors(
index => 'test',
body => {
docs => [
{ _type => 'test', _id => 1, fields => ['text'] },
{ _type => 'test', _id => 2, payloads => 1 },
]
}
);
Query string parameters:
"field_statistics",
"fields",
"ids",
"offsets",
"parent",
"payloads",
"positions",
"preference",
"realtime",
"routing",
"term_statistics",
"version",
"version_type"

<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-multi-
termvectors.html> for more information.
SEARCH METHODS
The search methods are used for querying documents in one, more or all indices and of one,
more or all types:
"search()"
$results = $e->search(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'type' | \@types, # optional
body => { search params } # optional
);
The "search()" method searches for matching documents in one or more indices. It is just
as easy to search a single index as it is to search all the indices in your cluster. It
can also return aggregations
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations.html>
highlighted snippets
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-highlighting.html>
and did-you-mean <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-
suggesters-phrase.html> or search-as-you-type
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-
completion.html> suggestions.
The lite version of search
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-uri-request.html>
allows you to specify a query string in the "q" parameter, using the Lucene query string
syntax:
$results = $e->search( q => 'title:(elasticsearch clients)');
However, the preferred way to search is by using the Query DSL
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl.html> to create
a query, and passing that "query" in the request body
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-body.html>:
$results = $e->search(
body => {
query => {
match => { title => 'Elasticsearch clients'}
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"_source",
"_source_exclude",
"_source_include",
"allow_no_indices",
"analyze_wildcard",
"analyzer",
"default_operator",
"df",
"expand_wildcards",
"explain",
"fielddata_fields",
"fields",
"from",
"ignore_unavailable",
"lenient",
"lowercase_expanded_terms",
"preference",
"q",
"request_cache",
"routing",
"scroll",
"search_type",
"size",
"sort",
"stats",
"suggest_field",
"suggest_mode",
"suggest_size",
"suggest_text",
"terminate_after",
"timeout",
"track_scores",
"version"
See the search reference
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-body.html>
for more information.
Also see "send_get_body_as" in Search::Elasticsearch::Transport.
"search_exists()"
The "search_exists()" method is a quick version of search which can be used to find out
whether there are matching search results or not. It doesn't return any results itself.
$results = $e->search_exists(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'type' | \@types, # optional
body => { search params } # optional
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"analyze_wildcard",
"analyzer",
"default_operator",
"df",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"lenient",
"lowercase_expanded_terms"
"min_score",
"preference",
"q",
"routing"
See the search exists reference
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-exists.html> for
more information.
"count()"
$results = $e->count(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'type' | \@types, # optional
body => { query } # optional
)
The "count()" method returns the total count of all documents matching the query:
$results = $e->count(
body => {
query => {
match => { title => 'Elasticsearch clients' }
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"analyze_wildcard",
"analyzer",
"default_operator",
"df",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"lenient",
"lowercase_expanded_terms"
"min_score",
"preference",
"q",
"routing"
See the count docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-
count.html> for more information.
"search_template()"
$results = $e->search_template(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'type' | \@types, # optional
body => { search params } # optional
);
Perform a search by specifying a template (either predefined or defined within the "body")
and parameters to use with the template, eg:
$results = $e->search_template(
body => {
inline => {
query => {
match => {
"{{my_field}}" => "{{my_value}}"
}
},
size => "{{my_size}}"
},
params => {
my_field => 'foo',
my_value => 'bar',
my_size => 5
}
}
);
See the search template docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-template.html> for
more information.
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"preference",
"scroll",
"search_type"
"render_search_template()"
$response = $e->render_search_template(
id => 'id', # optional
body => { template } # optional
);
Renders the template, filling in the passed-in parameters and returns the resulting JSON,
eg:
$results = $e->render_search_template(
body => {
inline => {
query => {
match => {
"{{my_field}}" => "{{my_value}}"
}
},
size => "{{my_size}}"
},
params => {
my_field => 'foo',
my_value => 'bar',
my_size => 5
}
}
);
See the search template docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-template.html> for
more information.
"scroll()"
$results = $e->scroll(
scroll => '1m',
scroll_id => $id
);
When a "search()" has been performed with the "scroll" parameter, the "scroll()" method
allows you to keep pulling more results until the results are exhausted.
NOTE: you will almost always want to set the "search_type" to "scan" in your original
"search()" request.
See "scroll_helper()" and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Scroll for a helper utility
which makes managing scroll requests much easier.
Query string parameters:
"scroll",
"scroll_id"
See the scroll docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-
scroll.html> and the search_type docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search.html/search-
request-search-type.html> for more information.
"clear_scroll()"
$response = $e->clear_scroll(
scroll_id => $id | \@ids # required
);
Or
$response = $e->clear_scroll(
body => $id
);
The "clear_scroll()" method can clear unfinished scroll requests, freeing up resources on
the server.
"scroll_helper()"
$scroll_helper = $e->scroll_helper( @args );
Returns a new instance of the class specified in the "scroll_helper_class", which defaults
to Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Scroll.
"msearch()"
$results = $e->msearch(
index => 'default_index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'default_type' | \@types, # optional
body => [ searches ] # required
);
The "msearch()" method allows you to perform multiple searches in a single request.
Similar to the "bulk()" request, each search request in the "body" consists of two hashes:
the metadata hash then the search request hash (the same data that you'd specify in the
"body" of a "search()" request). For instance:
$results = $e->msearch(
index => 'default_index',
type => ['default_type_1', 'default_type_2'],
body => [
# uses defaults
{},
{ query => { match_all => {} }},
# uses a custom index
{ index => 'not_the_default_index' },
{ query => { match_all => {} }}
]
);
Query string parameters:
"search_type"
See the msearch docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-multi-search.html>
for more information.
"explain()"
$response = $e->explain(
index => 'my_index', # required
type => 'my_type', # required
id => 123, # required
body => { search } # required
);
The "explain()" method explains why the specified document did or did not match a query,
and how the relevance score was calculated. For instance:
$response = $e->explain(
index => 'my_index',
type => 'my_type',
id => 123,
body => {
query => {
match => { title => 'Elasticsearch clients' }
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"_source",
"_source_exclude",
"_source_include",
"analyze_wildcard",
"analyzer",
"default_operator",
"df",
"fields",
"lenient",
"lowercase_expanded_terms",
"parent",
"preference",
"q",
"routing"
See the explain docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-explain.html> for
more information.
"field_stats()"
$response = $e->field_stats(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
fields => 'field' | \@fields, # optional
level => 'cluster' | 'indices', # optional
body => { filters } # optional
);
The "field-stats" API returns statistical properties of a field (such as min and max
values) without executing a search.
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"fields",
"ignore_unavailable",
"level"
See the field-stats docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-field-stats.html>
for more information.
"search_shards()"
$response = $e->search_shards(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
type => 'type' | \@types, # optional
)
The "search_shards()" method returns information about which shards on which nodes will
execute a search request.
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"local",
"preference",

PERCOLATION METHODS
"percolate()"
$results = $e->percolate(
index => 'my_index', # required
type => 'my_type', # required
body => { percolation } # required
);
Percolation is search inverted: instead of finding docs which match a particular query, it
finds queries which match a particular document, eg for alert-me-when functionality.
The "percolate()" method runs a percolation request to find the queries matching a
particular document. In the "body" you should pass the "_source" field of the document
under the "doc" key:
$results = $e->percolate(
index => 'my_index',
type => 'my_type',
body => {
doc => {
title => 'Elasticsearch rocks'
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"percolate_format",
"percolate_index",
"percolate_preference",
"percolate_routing",
"percolate_type",
"preference",
"routing",
"version",
"version_type"
See the percolate docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-percolate.html> for
more information.
"count_percolate()"
$results = $e->count_percolate(
index => 'my_index', # required
type => 'my_type', # required
body => { percolation } # required
);
The "count_percolate()" request works just like the "percolate()" request except that it
returns a count of all matching queries, instead of the queries themselves.
$results = $e->count_percolate(
index => 'my_index',
type => 'my_type',
body => {
doc => {
title => 'Elasticsearch rocks'
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"percolate_index",
"percolate_type",
"preference",
"routing",
"version",
"version_type"
See the percolate docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-percolate.html> for
more information.
"mpercolate()"
$results = $e->mpercolate(
index => 'my_index', # required if type
type => 'my_type', # optional
body => [ percolation requests ] # required
);
Multi-percolation allows multiple "percolate()" requests to be run in a single request.
$results = $e->mpercolate(
index => 'my_index',
type => 'my_type',
body => [
# first request
{ percolate => {
index => 'twitter',
type => 'tweet'
}},
{ doc => {message => 'some_text' }},
# second request
{ percolate => {
index => 'twitter',
type => 'tweet',
id => 1
}},
{},
]
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable"
See the mpercolate docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-percolate.html> for
more information.
"suggest()"
$results = $e->suggest(
index => 'index' | \@indices, # optional
body => { suggest request } # required
);
The "suggest()" method is used to run did-you-mean
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesteres-
phrase.html> or search-as-you-type
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-
completion.html> suggestion requests, which can also be run as part of a "search()"
request.
$results = $e->suggest(
index => 'my_index',
body => {
my_suggestions => {
phrase => {
text => 'johnny walker',
field => 'title'
}
}
}
);
Query string parameters:
"allow_no_indices",
"expand_wildcards",
"ignore_unavailable",
"preference",
"routing"
INDEXED SCRIPT METHODS
If dynamic scripting is enabled, Elasticsearch allows you to store scripts in an internal
index known as ".scripts" and reference them by id. The methods to manage indexed scripts
are as follows:
"put_script()"
$result = $e->put_script(
lang => 'lang', # required
id => 'id', # required
body => { script } # required
);
The "put_script()" method is used to store a script in the ".scripts" index. For instance:
$result = $e->put_scripts(
lang => 'groovy',
id => 'hello_world',
body => {
script => q(return "hello world");
}
);
Query string parameters:
"op_type",
"version",
"version_type"
See the indexed scripts docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html#_indexed_scripts> for more.
"get_script()"
$script = $e->get_script(
lang => 'lang', # required
id => 'id', # required
);
Retrieve the indexed script from the ".scripts" index.
Query string parameters:
"version",
"version_type"
See the indexed scripts docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html#_indexed_scripts> for more.
"delete_script()"
$script = $e->delete_script(
lang => 'lang', # required
id => 'id', # required
);
Delete the indexed script from the ".scripts" index.
Query string parameters:
"version",
"version_type"
See the indexed scripts docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-
scripting.html#_indexed_scripts> for more.
INDEXED SEARCH TEMPLATE METHODS
Mustache templates can be used to create search requests. These templates can be stored
in the ".scripts" index and retrieved by ID. The methods to manage indexed scripts are as
follows:
"put_template()"
$result = $e->put_template(
id => 'id', # required
body => { template } || "template" # required
);
The "put_template()" method is used to store a template in the ".scripts" index. For
instance:
$result = $e->put_template(
id => 'hello_world',
body => {
template => {
query => {
match => {
title => "hello world"
}
}
}
}
);
Query string parameters: None
See the indexed search template docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-
template.html#_pre_registered_template> for more.
"get_template()"
$script = $e->get_template(
id => 'id', # required
);
Retrieve the indexed template from the ".scripts" index.
Query string parameters:
"version",
"version_type"
See the indexed search template docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-
template.html#_pre_registered_template> for more.
"delete_template()"
$script = $e->delete_template(
id => 'id', # required
);
Delete the indexed template from the ".scripts" index.
Query string parameters: None
See the indexed search template docs
<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-
template.html#_pre_registered_template> for more.
