OpenSearch Java Client User Guide

Setup

To start using the OpenSearch Java client, you need to provide a transport. The default ApacheHttpClient5TransportBuilder transport comes with the Java client. To use the OpenSearch Java client with the default transport, add it to your pom.xml file as a dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
  <artifactId>opensearch-java</artifactId>
  <version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>

If you’re using Gradle, add the following dependencies to your project:

dependencies {
  implementation 'org.opensearch.client:opensearch-java:2.6.0'
}

Basic Features

In the example below, we create a client, create an index with default and non-default settings, insert a document into the index, search for the document, delete the document, and finally delete the index.

You can find working versions of the code below that can be run with a local instance of OpenSearch in samples.

Creating a client

There are multiple low level transports which OpenSearchClient could be configured with, the ApacheHttpClient5Transport being the default one.

Using ApacheHttpClient5Transport

import org.apache.hc.core5.http.HttpHost;

final HttpHost[] hosts = new HttpHost[] {
    new HttpHost("http", "localhost", 9200)
  };

final OpenSearchTransport transport = ApacheHttpClient5TransportBuilder
    .builder(hosts)
    .setMapper(new JacksonJsonpMapper())
    .build();
OpenSearchClient client = new OpenSearchClient(transport);

Upcoming OpenSearch 3.0.0 release brings HTTP/2 support and as such, the ApacheHttpClient5Transport would switch to HTTP/2 if available (for both HTTPS and/or HTTP protocols). The desired protocol could be forced using ApacheHttpClient5TransportBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback, for example:

final OpenSearchTransport transport = ApacheHttpClient5TransportBuilder
    .builder(httpHost)
    .setMapper(new JacksonJsonpMapper())
    .setHttpClientConfigCallback(new ApacheHttpClient5TransportBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback() {
        @Override
        public HttpAsyncClientBuilder customizeHttpClient(HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpClientBuilder) {
            return httpClientBuilder.setVersionPolicy(HttpVersionPolicy.FORCE_HTTP_2);
        }
    })
    .build();
OpenSearchClient client = new OpenSearchClient(transport);

See SampleClient.java for a working sample.

Using RestClientTransport (deprecated)

import org.apache.hc.core5.http.HttpHost;

final HttpHost[] hosts = new HttpHost[] {
    new HttpHost("http", "localhost", 9200)
  };

// Initialize the client with SSL and TLS enabled
final RestClient restClient = RestClient
  .builder(hosts)
  .build();

OpenSearchTransport transport = new RestClientTransport(restClient, new JacksonJsonpMapper()); 
OpenSearchClient client = new OpenSearchClient(transport);

The JacksonJsonpMapper class (2.x versions) only supports Java 7 objects by default. Java 8 modules to support JDK8 classes such as the Date and Time API (JSR-310), Optional, and more can be used by including the additional datatype dependency and adding the module. For example, to include JSR-310 classes:

OpenSearchTransport transport = new RestClientTransport(restClient,
    new JacksonJsonpMapper(new ObjectMapper().registerModule(new JavaTimeModule()))); 
OpenSearchClient client = new OpenSearchClient(transport);

Upcoming OpenSearch 3.0.0 release brings HTTP/2 support and as such, the RestClientTransport would switch to HTTP/2 if available (for both HTTPS and/or HTTP protocols). The desired protocol could be forced using RestClientBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback.

Creating an index

With default settings

String index = "sample-index";
CreateIndexRequest createIndexRequest = new CreateIndexRequest.Builder().index(index).build();
client.indices().create(createIndexRequest);

With custom settings and mappings

String index = "sample-index";
IndexSettings settings = new IndexSettings.Builder()
        .numberOfShards("2")
        .numberOfReplicas("1")
        .build();
TypeMapping mapping = new TypeMapping.Builder()
        .properties("age", new Property.Builder().integer(new IntegerNumberProperty.Builder().build()).build())
        .build();
CreateIndexRequest createIndexRequest = new CreateIndexRequest.Builder()
        .index(index)
        .settings(settings)
        .mappings(mapping)
        .build();
client.indices().create(createIndexRequest);

With flat object mappings

OpenSearch supports FlatObject mappings from version 2.7.0 without additional parameters.

final CreateIndexRequest createIndexRequest = new CreateIndexRequest.Builder().index(indexName)
                    .mappings(m -> m.properties("issue", Property.of(p -> p.flatObject(new FlatObjectProperty.Builder().build()))))
                    .build();
client.indices().create(createIndexRequest);

You can find a working sample of the above code in FlatObjectBasics.java.

Indexing data

IndexData refers to sample data class.

IndexData indexData = new IndexData("Document 1", "Text for document 1");
IndexRequest<IndexData> indexRequest = new IndexRequest.Builder<IndexData>().index(index).id("1").document(indexData).build();
client.index(indexRequest);

indexData = new IndexData("Document 2", "Text for document 2");
indexRequest = new IndexRequest.Builder<IndexData>().index(index).id("2").document(indexData).build();
client.index(indexRequest);

Searching for a document

SearchResponse<IndexData> searchResponse = client.search(s -> s.index(index), IndexData.class);
for (int i = 0; i < searchResponse.hits().hits().size(); i++) {
  System.out.println(searchResponse.hits().hits().get(i).source());
}

Deleting a document

The following sample code deletes a document whose ID is 1.

client.delete(d -> d.index(index).id("1"));

Deleting an index

DeleteIndexRequest deleteIndexRequest = new DeleteIndexRequest.Builder().index(index).build();
DeleteIndexResponse deleteIndexResponse = client.indices().delete(deleteIndexRequest);

You can find a working sample of the above code in IndexingBasics.java.
