ElasticUtils v0.9 released!

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

What is it?

ElasticUtils is a Python library for building and executing Elasticsearch searches.

See the Quickstart for more details.

v0.9 released!

This is a big release, but there are some compromises in it that I'm not wildly excited about. Things like Elasticsearch 1.0 support didn't make the cut. I'm really sorry about that---we're working on it.

This release has a lot of changes in it. Roughly:

  • dropped pyelasticsearch for elasticsearch-py (Thank you Honza!)

  • fixed S.all() so it does what Django does which should let you use an S in the place of a QuerySet in some cases

  • new FacetResult class (Thank you James!)

  • S.facet() can take a size keyword

  • cleaned up ESTestCase

  • SearchResults now has facet data in the facets property

  • etc.
