Read a TSV and import the data to Elasticsearch

Primary LanguageJavaScript

es-import-tsv

Simple example of creating a pipeline that reads in a TSV file, does some basic cleaning, and indexes the results into Elasticsearch. The actual code is in scripts/import_tsv.coffee, but Coffeescript isn't required to run the compiled JS code.

Installation:

npm i -g ewr/es-import-tsv

Usage:

es-import-tsv --index my_data --type expenses < expenses.tsv

See es-import-tsv --help for the full option list.

Cleaning

The specific cleaning here was an example using data from the calaccess-raw-data project.

  • Parse timestamps into something ES will understand for any field named *_DATE
  • Treat fields as numbers if they are named AMOUNT or *_YTD
  • For field prefixes passed in via --names, concatenate *_NAMF and *_NAML to *_NAME
