Rails 3 generator to install elasticsearch

Mama Search

Mama Search is a Rails 3 generator to install elasticsearch. It also includes Rake tasks for starting elasticsearch.

Installation

Add mama search to your Gemfile:

gem 'mama_search'

Use bundler to install it:

bundle install

Run the generator to install elasticsearch (currently version 0.14.2) in your app:

rails g mama_search:install

This installs the following directories and files:

• elasticsearch/server/ # elasticsearch server
• config/elasticsearch.yml # app configuration
• config/initializers/elasticsearch.rb # elasticsearch connection object setup

Rake tasks

rake es:start

Start elasticsearch. Elasticsearch is run in the foreground and should be stopped via Ctrl+C.

Issues

• The default elasticsearch executable makes it hard to move config files out of the project root, so configuration stays in elasticsearch/server/config for now
• Rubberband tries to autodiscover nodes immediately. Until this is changed, the global client in the initializer should remain commented.

Mama Search is heavily inspired by Mama Cass
