ElasticSearch Sample Index Data Script (PHP)

This sample script reads from the included CSV file and adds 150 'superhero' documents to an index 'comicbook'.

I needed a way to quickly create indexes/shards and fill them with documents for my ElasticSearch Monitoring solution, and so this project was born.

Usage

• Create the Index:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/comicbook/' -d '{
    "settings" : {
        "index" : {
            "number_of_shards" : 3,
            "number_of_replicas" : 1
        }
    }
}'

• From command line, execute the script:

php elasticput.php

• Script should output:

...
INDEXING ROW: 15 HERO: Punisher
RESPONSE: {"ok":true,"_index":"comicbook","_type":"superhero","_id":"14","_version":1}

INDEXING ROW: 16 HERO: Flash
RESPONSE: {"ok":true,"_index":"comicbook","_type":"superhero","_id":"15","_version":1}

INDEXING ROW: 17 HERO: Magneto
RESPONSE: {"ok":true,"_index":"comicbook","_type":"superhero","_id":"16","_version":1}
...

• Once complete, perform a search:

http://localhost:9200/comicbook/superhero/_search?q=summary:Kent
