{ } Elasticsearch and Ruby

Example class Results include Enumerable attr_reader :query, :curl, :time, :total, :results, :facets def initialize(search) response = JSON.parse( Slingshot.http.post("http://localhost:9200/#{search.indices}/_search", search.to_json) ) @query = search.to_json @curl = %Q|curl -X POST "http://localhost:9200/#{search.indices}/_search?pretty" -d #{@query}| @time = response[took] @total = response[hits][total] @results = response[hits][hits] @facets = response[facets] end def each(&block) @results.each(&block) end end Elasticsearch plays nicely with Ruby… Elasticsearch and Ruby

elasticsearch’s Query DSLcurl -‐X POST "http://localhost:9200/articles/_search?pretty=true" -‐d { "query" : { "filtered" : { "filter" : { "range" : { "date" : { "from" : "2012-‐01-‐01", "to" : "2012-‐12-‐31" } } }, "query" : { "bool" : { "must" : { "terms" : { "tags" : [ "ruby", "python" ] } }, "must" : { "match" : { "title" : { "query" : "conference", "boost" : 10.0 } } } } } } }}

Example Tire.search(articles) do query do boolean do must { terms :tags, [ruby, python] } must { string published_on:[2011-01-01 TO 2011-01-02] } end end end Elasticsearch and Ruby

Example tags_query = lambda do |boolean| boolean.must { terms :tags, [ruby, python] } end published_on_query = lambda do |boolean| boolean.must { string published_on:[2011-01-01 TO 2011-01-02] } end Tire.search(articles) do query { boolean &tags_query } end Tire.search(articles) do query do boolean &tags_query boolean &published_on_query end end Elasticsearch and Ruby

Example search = Tire.search articles do query do string title:T* end filter :terms, tags: [ruby] facet tags, terms: tags sort { by :title, desc } end search = Tire::Search::Search.new(articles) search.query { string(title:T*) } search.filter :terms, :tags => [ruby] search.facet(tags) { terms :tags } search.sort { by :title, desc } Elasticsearch and Ruby

TEH PROBLEM Designing the Tire library as domain-specific language, from the higher level, and consequently doing a lot of mistakes in the lower levels. ‣ Class level settings (Tire.configure); cannot connect to two elasticsearch clusters in one codebase ‣ Inconsistent access (methods vs Hashes) ‣ Not enough abstraction and separation of concerns Elasticsearch and Ruby

”Blocks with arguments” (alternative DSL syntax) Tire.search do query do text :name, params[:q] end endTire.search do |search| search.query do |query| query.text :name, params[:q] endend Elasticsearch and Ruby

The Git(Hub) (r)evolution‣ Lots of contributions... but less feedback‣ Many contributions focus on specific use case‣ Many contributions don’t take the bigger picture and codebase conventions into account‣ Almost every patch needs to be processed, polished, amended‣ Maintainer: lots of curation, less development — even on this small scale (2K LOC, 7K LOT)‣ Contributors very eager to code, but a bit afraid to talk

Tire’s Ruby on Rails integration$ rails new myapp -‐m "https://raw.github.com/karmi/tire/master/examples/rails-‐application-‐template.rb"‣ Generate a fully working Rails application with a single command‣ Downloads elasticsearch if not running, creates the application, commits every step, seeds the example data, launches the application on a free port, …‣ Tire::Results::Item fully compatible with Rails view / URL helpers‣ Any ActiveModel compatible OxM supported‣ Rake task for importing data (using pagination libraries) Elasticsearch and Ruby

Rails integration baked in‣ No proper separation of concerns / layers‣ People expect everything to be as easy as that‣ Tire::Results::Item baked in, not opt-in, masquerades as models‣ People consider ActiveRecord the only OxM in the world Elasticsearch and Ruby
