Usage Examples

The examples in this section are based on an Elastic instance populated with the accounts.json sample dataset from the Getting Started with Elasticsearch guide. You can find instructions for setting this up at github.com/neo4j-examples/elastic-example.

We can create a document with a name property of John Doe in the customers index, by running the following query:

CALL apoc.es.post("localhost","customers","_doc", null, {
  name: "John Doe"
});
Table 1. Results
value

{result: "created", _shards: {total: 2, failed: 0, successful: 1}, _seq_no: 4, _index: "customers", _type: "_doc", _id: "Im4w_3UBi9jUSsIzV4Js", _version: 1, _primary_term: 1}

Elastic will generate an _id value for us when we use apoc.es.post. If we want to provide an id, or update an existing document, see apoc.es.put.
