Usage

Set up:

• Install elasticsearch

• Install the package: virtualenv --python=python3 .; bin/pip install sphinx_elasticsearch

• Create index: bin/sphinx-elasticsearch create-index --es-url=http://localhost:9200 --replicas=1 --shards=5 bin/sphinx-elasticsearch put-mapping --es-url=http://localhost:9200

By default we use an index named docs and a document type page, you can customize this via the --index and --type parameters (but you’ll need to pass them to all three commands, create-index, put-mapping and index).

Note that you’ll probably be better off managing index creation and mapping setup yourself; these two setup commands are more for getting started quickly and out of the box.

Index your sphinx project:

• Build your project as JSON (for easier parsing): bin/sphinx-build -b json . json-build

• Index into ES: bin/sphinx-elasticsearch index --es-url=http://localhost:9200 --index=docs json-build (If you pass --commit any previously indexed pages that have been deleted will be removed automatically.)
