☀️ ray-elasticsearch

Ray data source and sink for Elasticsearch.

Use this minimal library if you plan to read or write data from/to Elasticsearch massively parallel for data processing in Ray. Internally, the library uses parallelized sliced point-in-time search for reading and parallelized bulk requests for writing data, the two most efficient ways to read/write data to/from Elasticsearch. Note, that this library does not guarantee any specific ordering of the results, though, the scores are returned.

Installation

Install the package from PyPI:

pip install ray-elasticsearch

Usage

This library makes use of Ray's Datasource and Datasink APIs. For reading, use ElasticsearchDatasource and, for writing, use ElasticsearchDatasink.

Read documents

You can read results from a specified index by using an ElasticsearchDatasource with Ray's read_datasource() like so:

from ray import init
from ray.data import read_datasink
from ray_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDatasource

init()
source = ElasticsearchDslDatasource(index="test")
res = read_datasource(source)\
    .map(lambda x: x["_source"])\
    .sum("id")
print(f"Read complete. Sum: {res}")

Use an Elasticsearch query to filter the results:

source = ElasticsearchDslDatasource(
    index="test",
    query={
        "match": {
            "text": "foo bar",
        },
    },
)

Note that the parallel read does not enforce any ordering of the results even though the results are scored by Elasticsearch.

Normally, it is not necessary to specify a fixed concurrency level. The data source will automatically determine the optimal concurrency based on the disk size of the Elasticsearch index and the Ray cluster capabilities. You can, however, override the concurrency by setting the concurrency parameter in Ray's read_datasource().

Write documents

Writing documents works similarly by using the ElasticsearchDatasink with Ray's write_datasink():

from ray import init
from ray.data import range
from ray_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDatasink

init()
sink = ElasticsearchDatasink(index="test")
range(10_000)\
    .map(lambda x: {"_source": x})\
    .write_datasink(sink)
print("Write complete.")

Concurrency can again be limited by specifying the concurrency parameter in Ray's write_datasink().

Elasticsearch connection

Per default, the data source and sink access Elasticsearch on localhost:9200. However, in most cases, you would instead want to continue to some remote Elasticsearch instance. To do so, specify the client like in the example below, and use the same parameters as in the Elasticsearch() constructor:

source = ElasticsearchDatasource(
    index="test",
    client_kwargs=dict(
        hosts="<HOST>",
        http_auth=("<USERNAME>", "<PASSWORD>"),
        max_retries=10,
    ),
)

For the full list of allowed arguments in the client_kwargs dictionary, refer to the documentation of the Elasticsearch() constructor.

Elasticsearch DSL

To simplify query construction, you can also use the Elasticsearch DSL and its corresponding data source (ElasticsearchDslDatasource) and sink (ElasticsearchDslDatasink):

from elasticsearch7_dsl import Document
from elasticsearch7_dsl.query import Exists
from ray_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDslDatasource, ElasticsearchDslDatasink

class Foo(Document):
    class Index:
        name = "test_foo"
    text: str = Text()

source = ElasticsearchDslDatasource(
    index=Foo,
    query=Exists(field="doi"),
)
sink = ElasticsearchDslDatasink(index=Foo)

Note that, unlike in Elasticsearch DSL, the results are not parsed as Python objects but instead remain Python dictionaries, due to Ray internally transforming everything in Arrow format.
