dig-elasticsearch

Prerequisites:

• Install and Run Elastic Search locally: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html
• Clone this repository. Let <DIG-ES> be the directory that clones this repository
• Install the elasticsearch python package sudo pip install elasticsearch
• Install the Sense extension of chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sense-beta/lhjgkmllcaadmopgmanpapmpjgmfcfig?utm_source=gmail

Steps to load data into Elastic Search locally.

1. Create/have ready the dataset to be uploaded to ES

2. In the sense extension of chrome (or elastic search, if you have the Marvel plugin installed locally)

a. In the server field - http://localhost:9200/

b. Copy the contents of the file at the location - https://github.com/usc-isi-i2/dig-elasticsearch/blob/master/types/webpage/esMapping-dig-Ads.json

into the editor area of sense and send request.

c. This will create an index named 'dig' with a document type 'WebPage' on your local machine with all the settings and mappings as we have on the Elastic Search ISI server.

3 . Load data into your elastic search server

a. Change directory to <DIG-ES>/types/webpage/scripts

b. Type python loadDataElasticSearch.py -h. This will provide help for the script as below

usage: loadDataElasticSearch.py [-h] [-hostname HOSTNAME] [-port PORT]
                                [-mappingFilePath MAPPINGFILEPATH] 
                             filepath indexname doctype dataFileType

positional arguments:
   filepath            json file to be loaded in ElasticSearch
   indexname           desired name of the index in ElasticSearch
   doctype             type of the document to be indexed
   dataFileType        Specify '0' if every line in the data file is
                       different json object or '1' otherwise

optional arguments:
   -h, --help                       show this help message and exit
   -hostname HOSTNAME               Elastic Search Server hostname, defaults to 'localhost'
   -port PORT                       Elastic Search Server port,defaults to 9200
   -mappingFilePath MAPPINGFILEPATH mapping/setting file for the index

Execute:

python loadDataElasticSearch.py $FilePath/100kWebPages.json dig WebPage

Please note that $FilePath is the path where the json file is stored locally, downloaded in step 1. 'dig' and 'WebPage' is the name of index and document type as created in the step 2. hostname and port default to 'localhost' and 9200 as required in this case but can be specified with the optional parameters.
