els-utils 0.3.1

A simple wrapper for Elasticsearch tool

els-utils

This library provides utilities for interacting with Elasticsearch and results retrived from it.

The core features are:

• Index creation (even if already exists)
• Index deletion
• Search (can include explain: True in the DSL query)
• Explain

Installation

uv add els-utils

Example usage

Instantiate

from els_utils import ELS


# Using API key to authenticate
els = ELS(ES_ENDPOINT, api_key=ES_API_KEY)

# Using basic authen with username and password
els = ELS(ES_ENDPOINT, basic_authen=(USERNAME, PASSWORD))

Create index

mapping = {"mappings": {"properties": {...}}}

els.create_index(index_name="my-index", json_mapping=mapping, replace_if_exists=True)

Bulk update

data = [{"some-id": "1", "field1": "some-value"}, {"some-id": "2", "field1": "another-value"}]

els.bulk_update(index_name="my-index", data=data, id_key="some-id")

# Routing option is also available if needed
els.bulk_update(index_name="my-index", data=data, id_key="some-id", routing_key="1")

Results

dsl = {"query": {...}}
results = els.search(INDEX_NAME, dsl)

# results: <SearchResults total_hits=510>

# Get the JSON
results.json

# Get the hits
result.hits

# Get the sources
results.get_sources(as_list=False)  # as_list can be `True` if you wish to get just a list of sources

# Get results in a DataFrame format
results.to_dataframe()

# You can also pass in just the columns you want
results.to_dataframe(columns=["field1"])

# If explain: True was passed in the DSL, you can also get explanations
results.get_explanations()  # This returns a dict of {`_id`: `<ExplainResult>`}

Explanation

Using the explain API

dsl = {"query": {...}}
explain = els.explain(INDEX_NAME, doc_id="75720", dsl=dsl, routing=None)

# Get the JSON
explain.json

# Get score
explain.score

# Get the explanation dict
explain.explanation

# Get scores breakdown
explain.get_scores_breakdown(as_df=False)  # If you wish to return a DataFrame, can pass `as_df=True`

# Get the scores terms, e.g., tf, idf, boost for each field
explain.get_scores_term(as_df=False)

# Get the contributions summary for each field
explain.get_scores_summary()  # You can also pass in `as_df` parameter

Using the explanation from the search API

dsl = {"explain": True, "query": {...}}
results = els.search(INDEX_NAME, dsl=dsl)

# This returns a dict of {`_id`: `<ExplainResult>`}
explanations = results.get_explanations()

# You can do the same thing as the `ExplainResult` for each item
explanations["75720"].get_scores_term()  # Given that the key "75720" exists in the results
