Hi,

The Flink Elasticsearch Sink uses the Elasticsearch Java client to send the 
indexing requests, so whatever the client supports, it will be achievable 
through the `ElasticsearchSinkFunction` also.

From a quick check at the Elasticsearch Javadocs, I think you can also just set 
the document json as a String in the created `IndexRequest`. So,

public IndexRequest createIndexRequest(String element){

                    HashMap<String, Object> esJson = new HashMap<>();
                    
                    esJson.put("data", element);
                    
                    return Requests
                            .indexRequest()
                            .index("logs")
                            .type("object")
                            .source(esJson);
                }

Here, if `element` is already a Json string representing the document, you can 
just do 

return Requests
    .indexRequest()
    .index(“logs”)
    .type(“object”)
    .source(“the Json String”);

The `.source(…)` method has quite a few variants on how to set the source, and 
providing a Map is only one of them.
Please refer to the Elasticsearch Javadocs for the full list 
(https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.elasticsearch/elasticsearch/5.2.1).

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Gordon

Hi, 
thanks for the reply.

There isn't other way to do that?
Using REST you can send json like this : 

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/customer/external?pretty&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: 
application/json' -d'
{
 "name": "Jane Doe"
}
'

In my case I have json like this: 

{
      "filters" : {
                        "id" : 1,
                        "name": "abc"
                    }
}

how can I treat this cases? There isn't a way to send all the json element and 
index it like the in the REST request?

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ll use your code to explain.

public IndexRequest createIndexRequest(String element){

                    HashMap<String, Object> esJson = new HashMap<>();
                    
                    esJson.put("data", element);
What you should do here is parse the field values from `element`, and simply 
treat them as key-value pairs of the `esJson` map.

So, the `esJson` should be prepared by doing:

esJson.put(“id”, 6);

esJson.put(“name”, “A green door”);

esJson.put(“price”, 12.5);

etc.



Cheers,

Gordon

Hi,

I'm using Flink and Elasticsearch and I want to recieve in elasticsearch a json 
object ({"id":1, "name":"X"} ect...), I already have a string with this 
information, but I don't want to save it as string.

I recieve this:

{
  "_index": "logs",
  "_type": "object",
  "_id": "AVpcARfkfYWqSubr0ZvK",
  "_score": 1,
  "_source": {
    "data": "{\"id\":6,\"name\":\"A green 
door\",\"price\":12.5,\"tags\":[\"home\",\"green\"]}"
  }
}

And I want to recieve this:

{
"_index": "logs",
"_type": "external",
"_id": "AVpcARfkfYWqSubr0ZvK",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
"data": {
"id":6,
"name":"A green door",
"price":12.5,
"tags":
["home","green"]
}
}
}

my java code:

try {
            ArrayList<InetSocketAddress> transports = new ArrayList<>();
            transports.add(new InetSocketAddress("127.0.0.1", 9300));

            ElasticsearchSinkFunction<String> indexLog = new 
ElasticsearchSinkFunction<String>() {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 8802869701292023100L;

public IndexRequest createIndexRequest(String element){

                    HashMap<String, Object> esJson = new HashMap<>();
                    
                    esJson.put("data", element);
                    
                    
                    
                    return Requests
                            .indexRequest()
                            .index("logs")
                            .type("object")
                            .source(esJson);
                }
@Override
                public void process(String element, RuntimeContext ctx, 
RequestIndexer indexer) {
                    indexer.add(createIndexRequest(element));
                }
            };

            ElasticsearchSink<String> esSink = new 
ElasticsearchSink<String>(config, transports, indexLog);
            input.addSink(esSink);
        } 
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }


Do I need to treat every entry as a map? Can I just send a object with key 
value?

Thanks.
