Python Elasticsearch Async Client

This is an adapter for elasticsearch-py providing a transport layer based on Python's asyncio module. All API calls now return a future wrapping the response.

Sniffing (when requested) is also done via a scheduled coroutine.

Example for python 3.5+

import asyncio
from elasticsearch_async import AsyncElasticsearch

client = AsyncElasticsearch(hosts=['localhost', 'other-host'])

async def print_info():
    info = await client.info()
    print(info)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(print_info())
loop.run_until_complete(client.transport.close())
loop.close()

Example for python 3.4

import asyncio
from elasticsearch_async import AsyncElasticsearch
hosts = ['localhost', 'other-host']

async def print_info():
    async with AsyncElasticsearch(hosts=hosts) as client:
          print(await client.info())

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(print_info())
loop.close()

Example with SSL Context

import asyncio
from elasticsearch_async import AsyncElasticsearch
from elasticsearch.connection.http_urllib3 import create_ssl_context

context = create_ssl_context(cafile="/certs/ca/ca.crt")

client = AsyncElasticsearch(
    hosts=['elasticsearch-xpack'],
    ssl_context=context,
    http_auth=('elastic', 'changeme')
)

@asyncio.coroutine
def print_info():
    info = yield from client.info()
    print(info)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(print_info())
loop.run_until_complete(client.transport.close())
loop.close()

AsyncElasticsearch introduces one extra parameter loop which can be used to pass in an event loop you wish the client to use. By default asyncio.get_event_loop() will be used.

Installation

elasticsearch-async is available via PyPI so you can install it using pip

pip install elasticsearch-async
