Elasticsearch Hadoop

Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop. Supports Map/Reduce, Apache Hive, Apache Pig, Apache Spark and Apache Storm.

See project page and documentation for detailed information.

Requirements

Elasticsearch (1.x or higher (2.x highly recommended)) cluster accessible through REST. That's it! Significant effort has been invested to create a small, dependency-free, self-contained jar that can be downloaded and put to use without any dependencies. Simply make it available to your job classpath and you're set. For a certain library, see the dedicated chapter.

ES-Hadoop 6.x and higher are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X, 2.X, 5.X, and 6.X

ES-Hadoop 5.x and higher are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X, 2.X and 5.X

ES-Hadoop 2.2.x and higher are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X and 2.X

ES-Hadoop 2.0.x and 2.1.x are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X only

Online Documentation

The latest reference documentation is available online on the project home page. Below the README contains basic usage instructions at a glance.

Usage

Configuration Properties

All configuration properties start with es prefix. Note that the es.internal namespace is reserved for the library internal use and should not be used by the user at any point. The properties are read mainly from the Hadoop configuration but the user can specify (some of) them directly depending on the library used.

Required

es.resource=<ES resource location, relative to the host/port specified above>

Essential

es.query=<uri or query dsl query>              # defaults to {"query":{"match_all":{}}}
es.nodes=<ES host address>                     # defaults to localhost
es.port=<ES REST port>                         # defaults to 9200

The full list is available here

Map/Reduce

For basic, low-level or performance-sensitive environments, ES-Hadoop provides dedicated InputFormat and OutputFormat that read and write data to Elasticsearch. To use them, add the es-hadoop jar to your job classpath (either by bundling the library along - it's ~300kB and there are no-dependencies), using the DistributedCache or by provisioning the cluster manually. See the documentation for more information.

Note that es-hadoop supports both the so-called 'old' and the 'new' API through its EsInputFormat and EsOutputFormat classes.

'Old' (`org.apache.hadoop.mapred`) API

Reading

To read data from ES, configure the EsInputFormat on your job configuration along with the relevant properties:

JobConf conf = new JobConf();
conf.setInputFormat(EsInputFormat.class);
conf.set("es.resource", "radio/artists"); 
conf.set("es.query", "?q=me*");             // replace this with the relevant query
...
JobClient.runJob(conf);

Writing

Same configuration template can be used for writing but using EsOuputFormat:

JobConf conf = new JobConf();
conf.setOutputFormat(EsOutputFormat.class);
conf.set("es.resource", "radio/artists"); // index or indices used for storing data
...
JobClient.runJob(conf);

'New' (`org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce`) API

Reading

Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.set("es.resource", "radio/artists"); 
conf.set("es.query", "?q=me*");             // replace this with the relevant query
Job job = new Job(conf)
job.setInputFormatClass(EsInputFormat.class);
...
job.waitForCompletion(true);

Writing

Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.set("es.resource", "radio/artists"); // index or indices used for storing data
Job job = new Job(conf)
job.setOutputFormatClass(EsOutputFormat.class);
...
job.waitForCompletion(true);

Apache Hive

ES-Hadoop provides a Hive storage handler for Elasticsearch, meaning one can define an external table on top of ES.

Add es-hadoop-.jar to hive.aux.jars.path or register it manually in your Hive script (recommended):

ADD JAR /path_to_jar/es-hadoop-<version>.jar;

Reading

To read data from ES, define a table backed by the desired index:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE artists (
    id      BIGINT,
    name    STRING,
    links   STRUCT<url:STRING, picture:STRING>)
STORED BY 'org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler'
TBLPROPERTIES('es.resource' = 'radio/artists', 'es.query' = '?q=me*');

The fields defined in the table are mapped to the JSON when communicating with Elasticsearch. Notice the use of TBLPROPERTIES to define the location, that is the query used for reading from this table.

Once defined, the table can be used just like any other:

SELECT * FROM artists;

Writing

To write data, a similar definition is used but with a different es.resource:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE artists (
    id      BIGINT,
    name    STRING,
    links   STRUCT<url:STRING, picture:STRING>)
STORED BY 'org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler'
TBLPROPERTIES('es.resource' = 'radio/artists');

Any data passed to the table is then passed down to Elasticsearch; for example considering a table s, mapped to a TSV/CSV file, one can index it to Elasticsearch like this:

INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE artists 
    SELECT NULL, s.name, named_struct('url', s.url, 'picture', s.picture) FROM source s;

As one can note, currently the reading and writing are treated separately but we're working on unifying the two and automatically translating HiveQL to Elasticsearch queries.

Apache Pig

ES-Hadoop provides both read and write functions for Pig so you can access Elasticsearch from Pig scripts.

REGISTER /path_to_jar/es-hadoop-<version>.jar;

Additionally one can define an alias to save some chars:

%define ESSTORAGE org.elasticsearch.hadoop.pig.EsStorage()

and use $ESSTORAGE for storage definition.

Reading

To read data from ES, use EsStorage and specify the query through the LOAD function:

A = LOAD 'radio/artists' USING org.elasticsearch.hadoop.pig.EsStorage('es.query=?q=me*');
DUMP A;

Writing

Use the same Storage to write data to Elasticsearch:

A = LOAD 'src/artists.dat' USING PigStorage() AS (id:long, name, url:chararray, picture: chararray);
B = FOREACH A GENERATE name, TOTUPLE(url, picture) AS links;
STORE B INTO 'radio/artists' USING org.elasticsearch.hadoop.pig.EsStorage();

Apache Spark

ES-Hadoop provides native (Java and Scala) integration with Spark: for reading a dedicated RDD and for writing, methods that work on any RDD. Spark SQL is also supported

Scala

Reading

To read data from ES, create a dedicated RDD and specify the query as an argument:

import org.elasticsearch.spark._

..
val conf = ...
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
sc.esRDD("radio/artists", "?q=me*")

Spark SQL

import org.elasticsearch.spark.sql._

// DataFrame schema automatically inferred
val df = sqlContext.read.format("es").load("buckethead/albums")

// operations get pushed down and translated at runtime to Elasticsearch QueryDSL
val playlist = df.filter(df("category").equalTo("pikes").and(df("year").geq(2016)))

Writing

Import the org.elasticsearch.spark._ package to gain savetoEs methods on your RDDs:

import org.elasticsearch.spark._        

val conf = ...
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)         

val numbers = Map("one" -> 1, "two" -> 2, "three" -> 3)
val airports = Map("OTP" -> "Otopeni", "SFO" -> "San Fran")

sc.makeRDD(Seq(numbers, airports)).saveToEs("spark/docs")

Spark SQL

import org.elasticsearch.spark.sql._

val df = sqlContext.read.json("examples/people.json")
df.saveToEs("spark/people")

Java

In a Java environment, use the org.elasticsearch.spark.rdd.java.api package, in particular the JavaEsSpark class.

Reading

To read data from ES, create a dedicated RDD and specify the query as an argument.

import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext;   
import org.elasticsearch.spark.rdd.api.java.JavaEsSpark; 

SparkConf conf = ...
JavaSparkContext jsc = new JavaSparkContext(conf);   

JavaPairRDD<String, Map<String, Object>> esRDD = JavaEsSpark.esRDD(jsc, "radio/artists");

Spark SQL

SQLContext sql = new SQLContext(sc);
DataFrame df = sql.read().format("es").load("buckethead/albums");
DataFrame playlist = df.filter(df.col("category").equalTo("pikes").and(df.col("year").geq(2016)))

Writing

Use JavaEsSpark to index any RDD to Elasticsearch:

import org.elasticsearch.spark.rdd.api.java.JavaEsSpark; 

SparkConf conf = ...
JavaSparkContext jsc = new JavaSparkContext(conf); 

Map<String, ?> numbers = ImmutableMap.of("one", 1, "two", 2);     
Map<String, ?> airports = ImmutableMap.of("OTP", "Otopeni", "SFO", "San Fran");

JavaRDD<Map<String, ?>> javaRDD = jsc.parallelize(ImmutableList.of(numbers, airports)); 
JavaEsSpark.saveToEs(javaRDD, "spark/docs");

Spark SQL

import org.elasticsearch.spark.sql.api.java.JavaEsSparkSQL;

DataFrame df = sqlContext.read.json("examples/people.json")
JavaEsSparkSQL.saveToEs(df, "spark/docs")

Apache Storm

ES-Hadoop provides native integration with Storm: for reading a dedicated Spout and for writing a specialized Bolt

Reading

To read data from ES, use EsSpout:

import org.elasticsearch.storm.EsSpout; 

TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();
builder.setSpout("es-spout", new EsSpout("storm/docs", "?q=me*"), 5);
builder.setBolt("bolt", new PrinterBolt()).shuffleGrouping("es-spout");

Writing

To index data to ES, use EsBolt:

import org.elasticsearch.storm.EsBolt; 

TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();
builder.setSpout("spout", new RandomSentenceSpout(), 10);
builder.setBolt("es-bolt", new EsBolt("storm/docs"), 5).shuffleGrouping("spout");

Building the source

Elasticsearch Hadoop uses Gradle for its build system and it is not required to have it installed on your machine. By default (gradlew), it automatically builds the package and runs the unit tests. For integration testing, use the integrationTests task. See gradlew tasks for more information.

To create a distributable zip, run gradlew distZip from the command line; once completed you will find the jar in build/libs.

To build the project, JVM 8 (Oracle one is recommended) or higher is required.
