Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL CLI with auto-completion and syntax highlighting

Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL CLI

The SQL CLI component in Open Distro for Elasticsearch (ODFE) is a stand-alone Python application and can be launched by a 'wake' word odfesql.

It only supports Open Distro for Elasticsearch (ODFE) SQL Plugin You must have the ODFE SQL plugin installed to your Elasticsearch instance to connect. Users can run this CLI from MacOS and Linux, and connect to any valid Elasticsearch end-point such as Amazon Elasticsearch Service (AES).

Features

• Multi-line input
• Autocomplete for SQL syntax and index names
• Syntax highlighting
• Formatted output:
• Tabular format
• Field names with color
• Enabled horizontal display (by default) and vertical display when output is too wide for your terminal, for better visualization
• Pagination for large output
• Connect to Elasticsearch with/without security enabled on either Elasticsearch OSS or Amazon Elasticsearch Service domains.
• Supports loading configuration files
• Supports all SQL plugin queries

Install

Launch your local Elasticsearch instance and make sure you have the Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL plugin installed.

To install the SQL CLI:

1. We suggest you install and activate a python3 virtual environment to avoid changing your local environment:

   pip install virtualenv
   virtualenv venv
   cd venv
   source ./bin/activate
   

2. Install the CLI:

   pip3 install odfe-sql-cli
   

   The SQL CLI only works with Python 3, since Python 2 is no longer maintained since 01/01/2020. See https://pythonclock.org/

3. To launch the CLI, run:

   odfesql https://localhost:9200 --username admin --password admin
   

   By default, the odfesql command connects to http://localhost:9200.

Configure

When you first launch the SQL CLI, a configuration file is automatically created at ~/.config/odfesql-cli/config (for MacOS and Linux), the configuration is auto-loaded thereafter.

You can also configure the following connection properties:

• endpoint: You do not need to specify an option, anything that follows the launch command odfesql is considered as the endpoint. If you do not provide an endpoint, by default, the SQL CLI connects to http://localhost:9200.
• -u/-w: Supports username and password for HTTP basic authentication, such as:
  • Elasticsearch OSS with Open Distro for Elasticsearch Security Plugin installed
  • Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain with Fine Grained Access Control enabled
  • Elasticsearch with X-pack security enabled
• --aws-auth: Turns on AWS sigV4 authentication to connect to an Amazon Elasticsearch Service endpoint. Use with the AWS CLI (aws configure) to retrieve the local AWS configuration to authenticate and connect.

For a list of all available configurations, see clirc.

Using the CLI

1. Save the sample accounts test data file.

2. Index the sample data.

   curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -POST https://localhost:9200/data/_bulk -u admin:admin --insecure --data-binary "@accounts.json"
   

3. Run a simple SQL command in ODFE SQL CLI:

   SELECT * FROM accounts;
   

   By default, you see a maximum output of 200 rows. To show more results, add a LIMIT clause with the desired value.

The CLI supports all types of query that ODFE SQL supports. Refer to ODFE SQL basic usage documentation.

Query options

• --help: help page for options
• -q: follow by a single query
• -f: support jdbc/raw format output
• -v: display data vertically
• -e: translate sql to DSL

CLI Options
