基础概念

Elasticsearch 与 Java 客户端关系

Elasticsearch 提供了 RESTful API 供外部系统进行交互。Java Client for Elasticsearch 则是对这些 API 的封装，它为 Java 开发者提供了更友好、面向对象的编程接口。通过客户端，开发者无需直接处理 HTTP 请求和响应，而是使用熟悉的 Java 类和方法来操作 Elasticsearch。

客户端类型

• Transport Client（已弃用）：早期版本中常用，它通过 TCP 协议与 Elasticsearch 集群节点进行通信。但从 Elasticsearch 7.0 开始逐渐弃用，因为其维护成本高且存在兼容性问题。
• Rest High Level Client：推荐使用的客户端，基于 HTTP 协议与 Elasticsearch 集群交互。它提供了丰富的 API，易于使用且具有更好的兼容性和扩展性。

使用方法

引入依赖

使用 Maven 项目为例，在 pom.xml 文件中添加以下依赖：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
    <version>7.17.3</version> <!-- 根据实际使用的 Elasticsearch 版本调整 -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>7.17.3</version>
</dependency>

连接 Elasticsearch 集群

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;

public class ElasticsearchClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        // 使用客户端进行后续操作

        try {
            client.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

索引操作

• 创建索引

import org.elasticsearch.action.indices.CreateIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.indices.CreateIndexResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType;

import java.io.IOException;

public class IndexOperations {
    public static void createIndex(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName) throws IOException {
        CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest(indexName);
        request.source("{\"settings\":{\"number_of_shards\":1,\"number_of_replicas\":0}}", XContentType.JSON);

        CreateIndexResponse response = client.indices().create(request);
        if (response.isAcknowledged()) {
            System.out.println("Index created successfully: " + indexName);
        } else {
            System.out.println("Index creation failed");
        }
    }
}

• 删除索引

import org.elasticsearch.action.indices.DeleteIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.DeleteIndexResponse;

import java.io.IOException;

public class IndexOperations {
    public static void deleteIndex(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName) throws IOException {
        DeleteIndexRequest request = new DeleteIndexRequest(indexName);
        DeleteIndexResponse response = client.indices().delete(request);
        if (response.isAcknowledged()) {
            System.out.println("Index deleted successfully: " + indexName);
        } else {
            System.out.println("Index deletion failed");
        }
    }
}

文档操作

• 添加文档

import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType;

import java.io.IOException;

public class DocumentOperations {
    public static void addDocument(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName, String documentId, String jsonDocument) throws IOException {
        IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest(indexName).id(documentId);
        request.source(jsonDocument, XContentType.JSON);

        IndexResponse response = client.index(request);
        if (response.getResult().name().equals("CREATED") || response.getResult().name().equals("UPDATED")) {
            System.out.println("Document added/updated successfully: " + documentId);
        } else {
            System.out.println("Document addition/update failed");
        }
    }
}

• 获取文档

import org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;

import java.io.IOException;

public class DocumentOperations {
    public static void getDocument(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName, String documentId) throws IOException {
        GetRequest request = new GetRequest(indexName, documentId);
        GetResponse response = client.get(request);
        if (response.isExists()) {
            System.out.println("Document found: " + response.getSourceAsString());
        } else {
            System.out.println("Document not found");
        }
    }
}

搜索操作

import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders;
import org.elasticsearch.search.builder.SearchSourceBuilder;

import java.io.IOException;

public class SearchOperations {
    public static void searchDocuments(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName, String queryString) throws IOException {
        SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest(indexName);
        SearchSourceBuilder sourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();
        sourceBuilder.query(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("field_name", queryString)); // 替换 field_name 为实际字段
        request.source(sourceBuilder);

        SearchResponse response = client.search(request);
        if (response.getHits().getTotalHits().value > 0) {
            for (org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHit hit : response.getHits().getHits()) {
                System.out.println("Hit: " + hit.getSourceAsString());
            }
        } else {
            System.out.println("No results found");
        }
    }
}

常见实践

数据批量导入

import org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

public class BulkImport {
    public static void bulkImport(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName, List<String> jsonDocuments) throws IOException {
        BulkRequest bulkRequest = new BulkRequest();
        for (int i = 0; i < jsonDocuments.size(); i++) {
            IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest(indexName).id(String.valueOf(i));
            indexRequest.source(jsonDocuments.get(i), XContentType.JSON);
            bulkRequest.add(indexRequest);
        }

        BulkResponse bulkResponse = client.bulk(bulkRequest);
        if (bulkResponse.hasFailures()) {
            System.out.println("Bulk import failed");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Bulk import successful");
        }
    }
}

复杂搜索场景

例如，使用布尔查询结合多个条件进行搜索：

import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.BoolQueryBuilder;
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders;
import org.elasticsearch.search.builder.SearchSourceBuilder;

import java.io.IOException;

public class ComplexSearch {
    public static void complexSearch(RestHighLevelClient client, String indexName) throws IOException {
        SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest(indexName);
        SearchSourceBuilder sourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();

        BoolQueryBuilder boolQueryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery();
        boolQueryBuilder.must(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("field1", "value1"));
        boolQueryBuilder.should(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("field2", "value2"));
        boolQueryBuilder.filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("field3").gte(10).lte(20));

        sourceBuilder.query(boolQueryBuilder);
        request.source(sourceBuilder);

        SearchResponse response = client.search(request);
        // 处理搜索结果
    }
}

与 Spring 框架集成

在 Spring Boot 项目中，可以通过配置 RestHighLevelClient 来集成 Elasticsearch：

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class ElasticsearchConfig {
    @Bean
    public RestHighLevelClient restHighLevelClient() {
        return new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));
    }
}

然后在服务层或控制器中注入 RestHighLevelClient 进行操作：

import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class ElasticsearchService {
    private final RestHighLevelClient client;

    @Autowired
    public ElasticsearchService(RestHighLevelClient client) {
        this.client = client;
    }

    // 定义各种 Elasticsearch 操作方法
}

最佳实践

性能优化

• 批量操作：尽量使用批量 API 进行数据导入和删除等操作，减少网络开销。
• 合理设置索引参数：根据数据特点和查询需求，合理设置分片数、副本数等索引参数，提高查询性能。
• 缓存：对于频繁查询且数据变化不大的场景，可以考虑使用缓存来减少对 Elasticsearch 的查询压力。

错误处理与重试策略

在与 Elasticsearch 交互过程中，可能会遇到各种错误，如网络问题、集群过载等。应编写完善的错误处理代码，并实现重试策略。例如，使用 RetryContext 和 RetryListener 来处理重试逻辑：

import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClientBuilder;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.retry.RetryContext;
import org.elasticsearch.client.retry.RetryListener;

public class RetryExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        RestClientBuilder builder = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"));
        builder.setRetryListener(new RetryListener() {
            @Override
            public RetryContext onFailure(RestClient.RestClientContext context, int statusCode, long responseTime) {
                return new RetryContext(3, 1000); // 重试 3 次，每次间隔 1 秒
            }
        });

        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(builder);
        // 使用客户端进行操作

        try {
            client.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

安全与认证

如果 Elasticsearch 集群启用了安全认证，需要在客户端配置相应的认证信息。例如，使用 Basic 认证：

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.http.client.CredentialsProvider;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCredentialsProvider;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;

public class SecureClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
        credentialsProvider.setCredentials(
                AuthScope.ANY,
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password"));

        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"))
                       .setHttpClientConfigCallback(httpClientBuilder ->
                                httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)));

        // 使用客户端进行操作

        try {
            client.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
