Support CloudSearch

[xiongchiamiov]

Currently supported by boto (API docs).

It's definitely on our list. I'm curious if you mean just the data plane operations or if you would also want to add support for document upload and queries which are not part of the core CloudSearch API.

I'm not entirely sure; we're still in pretty early stages of Cloudsearch implementation, and I'm not the guy working on that end of things. @sctice , what sorts of things were you looking for?

I was basically looking for the whole suite. The tools here cover most (but not all) of the configuration API and batch upload. I wasn't aware of them when I first talked to @xiongchiamiov about this. Support for a query tool would be nice for testing and developing rank expressions, but it's probably pretty low priority since it's not very difficult to craft a request.

If you were going to add support for the configuration API, one thing that the tools above fall short on is indicating when a domain is in the "Processing" state. This data is available in the XML/JSON, but the tools don't put it into the normal display, not even when passing --show-all.

Enabling CloudSearch support in the latest version from pip, I get the following message when making a request:

$ aws cloudsearch describe-domains
'Service' object has no attribute 'xmlnamespace'

Other services seem to work okay for me. Having said that, I'd love to see complete support for CloudSearch. It would be really nice to never have to install their Java-based CLI tools.

@skyzyx - That's a bug in our cloudsearch model and will be tracked in boto/botocore#175. Thanks for reporting!

Closing, we now support both cloudsearch and cloudsearchdomain (for uploading/querying).
