elastic-transport-go

This library was lifted from elasticsearch-net and then transformed to be used across all Elastic services rather than only Elasticsearch.

It provides the Transport interface used by go-elasticsearch, connection pool, cluster discovery, and multiple loggers.

Installation

Add the package to your go.mod file:

require github.com/elastic/elastic/transport-go/v8 main

Usage

Transport

The transport provides the basic layer to access Elasticsearch APIs.

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"

	"github.com/elastic/elastic-transport-go/v8/elastictransport"
)

func main() {
	u, _ := url.Parse("http://127.0.0.1:9200")

	cfg := elastictransport.Config{
		URLs: []*url.URL{u},
	}
	transport, err := elastictransport.New(cfg)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "/", nil)

	res, err := transport.Perform(req)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	log.Println(res)
}

NOTE: It is critical to both close the response body and to consume it, in order to re-use persistent TCP connections in the default HTTP transport. If you're not interested in the response body, call io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, res.Body).

Discovery

Discovery module calls the cluster to retrieve its complete list of nodes.

Once your transport has been setup, you can easily trigger this behavior like so :

err := transport.DiscoverNodes()

Metrics

Allows you to retrieve metrics directly from the transport.

Loggers

One of multiple loggers can be injected directly into the Logger configuration, these are as follow:

TextLogger

config:

cfg := elastictransport.Config{
    elastictransport.TextLogger{os.Stdout, true, true},
}

output:

< {
<   "name" : "es",
<   "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
<   "cluster_uuid" : "RxB1iqTNT9q3LlIkTsmWRA",
<   "version" : {
<     "number" : "8.0.0-SNAPSHOT",
<     "build_flavor" : "default",
<     "build_type" : "docker",
<     "build_hash" : "0564e027dc6c69236937b1edcc04c207b4cd8128",
<     "build_date" : "2021-11-25T00:23:33.139514432Z",
<     "build_snapshot" : true,
<     "lucene_version" : "9.0.0",
<     "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.16.0",
<     "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
<   },
<   "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
< }

JSONLogger

config:

cfg := elastictransport.Config{
    Logger: &elastictransport.JSONLogger{os.Stdout, true, true},
}

output:

    "request": {
      "method": "GET"
    },
    "response": {
      "status_code": 200,
      "body": "{\n  \"name\" : \"es1\",\n  \"cluster_name\" : \"go-elasticsearch\",\n  \"cluster_uuid\" : \"RxB1iqTNT9q3LlIkTsmWRA\",\n  \"version\" : {\n    \"number\" : \"8.0.0-SNAPSHOT\",\n    \"build_flavor\" : \"default\",\n    \"build_type\" : \"docker\",\n    \"build_hash\" : \"0564e027dc6c69236937b1edcc04c207b4cd8128\",\n    \"build_date\" : \"2021-11-25T00:23:33.139514432Z\",\n    \"build_snapshot\" : true,\n    \"lucene_version\" : \"9.0.0\",\n    \"minimum_wire_compatibility_version\" : \"8.0.0\",\n    \"minimum_index_compatibility_version\" : \"7.0.0\"\n  },\n  \"tagline\" : \"You Know, for Search\"\n}\n"
    }
  }
}

ColorLogger

config:

cfg := elastictransport.Config{
    Logger: &elastictransport.ColorLogger{os.Stdout, true, true},
}

output:
