A library for building WordPress Elasticsearch plugins
Design Goals:
- Encourage a common ES WordPress schema so basic queries will work the same way for everyone.
- Leave room for expanding schemas for plugins and future development.
- Independent of ES Clients (ie Elastica, Sherlock, elasticsearch should all work)
- Multi-lingual support from the start.
Glossary
- Index Builder: creates the settings and configuration data for creating an index
- Document Builder: creates the data structures needed for indexing/updating/getting a ES document
- Analyzer Builder: creates the configuration data for creating analyzers for different languages.
- Document Iterator: iterates over a set of documents (eg posts, comments, blogs) for easy bulk indexing (and deleting).
Requirements:
- WordPress 3.5+
- To achieve multi-lingual support, this library requires the use of the following ES plugins https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-icu (required by all analyzers) https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-smartcn
Example Code (/examples/):
WordPress.com uses a lot of custom tables and extra complexity for index management and handles indexing using a custom asynchronous jobs system. Unfortunately none of this works well in a standard WordPress install. However, this directory contains some of our example code of how we are using wpes-lib to perform indexing.
