NamespacesΒΆ

The client exposes administrative functionalities through ‘namespaces’.

Namespaces Functionality
indices Index related functions such as create, delete, etc.
nodes Nodes related functions such as stats, info, etc.
cluster Cluster related functions such as get and update settings, stats, etc.

These namespaces are accessible as client.indices, client.nodes and client.cluster. Sample code for using the namespaces:

-- Creating an index
local res, status = client.indices:create{
  index = "my_index"
}

-- Getting Nodes Stats
local res, status = client.nodes:stats()

-- Getting Cluster Stats
local res, status = client.cluster:stats()
