    );
}

Basic configuration

Declare a client

Elasticsearch client is comparable to a database connection. Most of the time, you will need only one.

#app/config/config.yml
foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }

Declare an index

Elasticsearch index is comparable to Doctrine entity manager. Most of the time, you will need only one.

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default

Here we created a "website" index, that uses our "default" client.

Our index is now available as a service: foq_elastica.index.website. It is an instance of Elastica_Index.

Declare a type

Elasticsearch type is comparable to Doctrine entity repository.

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            types:
                user:
                    mappings:
                        username: { boost: 5 }
                        firstName: { boost: 3 }
                        lastName: { boost: 3 }
                        aboutMe:

Our type is now available as a service: foq_elastica.index.website.user. It is an instance of Elastica_Type.

Populate the types

php app/console foq:elastica:populate

This command deletes and creates the declared indexes and types. It applies the configured mappings to the types.

This command needs providers to insert new documents in the elasticsearch types. There are 2 ways to create providers. If your elasticsearch type matches a Doctrine repository or a Propel query, go for the persistence automatic provider. Or, for complete flexibility, go for manual provider.

Persistence automatic provider

If we want to index the entities from a Doctrine repository or a Propel query, some configuration will let ElasticaBundle do it for us.

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            types:
                user:
                    mappings:
                        username: { boost: 5 }
                        firstName: { boost: 3 }
                        # more mappings...
                    persistence:
                        driver: orm # orm, mongodb, propel are available
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        provider:

Three drivers are actually supported: orm, mongodb, and propel.

Use a custom Doctrine query builder

You can control which entities will be indexed by specifying a custom query builder method.

                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        provider:
                            query_builder_method: createIsActiveQueryBuilder

Your repository must implement this method and return a Doctrine query builder.

Propel doesn't support this feature yet.

Change the batch size

By default, ElasticaBundle will index documents by packets of 100. You can change this value in the provider configuration.

                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        provider:
                            batch_size: 100
Change the document identifier field

By default, ElasticaBundle will use the id field of your entities as the elasticsearch document identifier. You can change this value in the persistence configuration.

                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        identifier: id

Manual provider

Create a service with the tag "foq_elastica.provider" and attributes for the index and type for which the service will provide.

    <service id="acme.search_provider.user" class="Acme\UserBundle\Search\UserProvider">
        <tag name="foq_elastica.provider" index="website" type="user" />
        <argument type="service" id="foq_elastica.index.website.user" />
    </service>

Its class must implement FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Provider\ProviderInterface.

    <?php

    namespace Acme\UserBundle\Provider;

    use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Provider\ProviderInterface;
    use Elastica_Type;

    class UserProvider implements ProviderInterface
    {
        protected $userType;

        public function __construct(Elastica_Type $userType)
        {
            $this->userType = $userType;
        }

        /**
         * Insert the repository objects in the type index
         *
         * @param Closure $loggerClosure
         */
        public function populate(Closure $loggerClosure = null)
        {
            if ($loggerClosure) {
                $loggerClosure('Indexing users');
            }

            $document = new \Elastica_Document();
            $document->setData(array('username' => 'Bob'));
            $this->userType->addDocuments(array($document));
        }
    }

You will find a more complete implementation example in src/FOQ/ElasticaBundle/Doctrine/AbstractProvider.php.

Search

You can just use the index and type Elastica objects, provided as services, to perform searches.

/** var Elastica_Type */
$userType = $this->container->get('foq_elastica.index.website.user');

/** var Elastica_ResultSet */
$resultSet = $userType->search('bob');

Doctrine/Propel finder

If your elasticsearch type is bound to a Doctrine entity repository or a Propel query, you can get your entities instead of Elastica results when you perform a search. Declare that you want a Doctrine/Propel finder in your configuration:

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            types:
                user:
                    mappings:
                        # your mappings
                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        provider:
                        finder:

You can now use the foq_elastica.finder.website.user service:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Finder\TransformedFinder */
$finder = $container->get('foq_elastica.finder.website.user');

/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');

/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User limited to 10 results */
$users = $finder->find('bob', 10);

You can even get paginated results!

Pagerfanta:

/** var Pagerfanta\Pagerfanta */
$userPaginator = $finder->findPaginated('bob');

Knp paginator:

$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$userPaginator = $paginator->paginate($finder->createPaginatorAdapter('bob'));

You can also get both the Elastica results and the entities together from the finder. You can then access the score, highlights etc. from the Elastica_Result whilst still also getting the entity.

/** var array of FOQ\ElasticaBundle\HybridResult */
$hybridResults = $finder->findHybrid('bob');
foreach ($hybridResults as $hybridResult) {

    /** var  Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
    $user = $hybridResult->getTransformed();

    /** var  Elastica_Result */
    $result = $hybridResult->getResult();
}
Index wide finder

You can also define a finder that will work on the entire index. Adjust your index configuration as per below:

foq_elastica:
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            finder:

You can now use the index wide finder service foq_elastica.finder.website:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Finder\MappedFinder */
$finder = $container->get('foq_elastica.finder.website');

// Returns a mixed array of any objects mapped
$results = $finder->find('bob');

Repositories

As well as using the finder service for a particular Doctrine/Propel entity you can use a manager service for each driver and get a repository for an entity to search against. This allows you to use the same service rather than the particular finder. For example:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager.orm');

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');

/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');

You can also specify the full name of the entity instead of the shortcut syntax:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('Application\UserBundle\Entity\User');

The 2.0 branch doesn't support using UserBundle:User style syntax and you must use the full name of the entity. .

Default Manager

If you are only using one driver then its manager service is automatically aliased to foq_elastica.manager. So the above example could be simplified to:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager');

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');

/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');

If you use multiple drivers then you can choose which one is aliased to foq_elastica.manager using the default_manager parameter:

foq_elastica:
    default_manager: mongodb #defauults to orm
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    #--
Custom Repositories

As well as the default repository you can create a custom repository for an entity and add methods for particular searches. These need to extend FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository to have access to the finder:

<?php

namespace Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository;

use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository;

class UserRepository extends Repository
{
    public function findWithCustomQuery($searchText)
    {
        // build $query with Elastica objects
        $this->find($query);
    }
}

To use the custom repository specify it in the mapping for the entity:

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            types:
                user:
                    mappings:
                        # your mappings
                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        provider:
                        finder:
                        repository: Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository\UserRepository

Then the custom queries will be available when using the repository returned from the manager:

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager');

/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');

/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->findWithCustomQuery('bob');

Alternatively you can specify the custom repository using an annotation in the entity:

<?php

namespace Application\UserBundle\Entity;

use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Configuration\Search;

/**
 * @Search(repositoryClass="Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository\UserRepository")
 */
class User
{

   //---

}

Realtime, selective index update

If you use the Doctrine integration, you can let ElasticaBundle update the indexes automatically when an object is added, updated or removed. It uses Doctrine lifecycle events. Declare that you want to update the index in real time:

foq_elastica:
    clients:
        default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
    indexes:
        website:
            client: default
            types:
                user:
                    mappings:
                        # your mappings
                    persistence:
                        driver: orm
                        model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
                        listener: # by default, listens to "insert", "update" and "delete"

Now the index is automatically updated each time the state of the bound Doctrine repository changes. No need to repopulate the whole "user" index when a new User is created.

You can also choose to only listen for some of the events:

                    persistence:
                        listener:
                            insert: true
                            update: false
                            delete: true

Propel doesn't support this feature yet.

Checking an entity method for listener

If you use listeners to update your index, you may need to validate your entities before you index them (e.g. only index "public" entities). Typically, you'll want the listener to be consistent with the provider's query criteria. This may be achieved by using the is_indexable_callback config parameter:

                    persistence:
                        listener:
                            is_indexable_callback: "isPublic"

If is_indexable_callback is a string and the entity has a method with the specified name, the listener will only index entities for which the method returns true. Additionally, you may provide a service and method name pair:

                    persistence:
                        listener:
                            is_indexable_callback: [ "%custom_service_id%", "isIndexable" ]

In this case, the callback will be the isIndexable() method on the specified service and the object being considered for indexing will be passed as the only argument. This allows you to do more complex validation (e.g. ACL checks).

As you might expect, new entities will only be indexed if the callback returns true. Additionally, modified entities will be updated or removed from the index depending on whether the callback returns true or false, respectively. The delete listener disregards the callback.

Propel doesn't support this feature yet.

Advanced elasticsearch configuration

Any setting can be specified when declaring a type. For example, to enable a custom analyzer, you could write:

foq_elastica:
    indexes:
        doc:
            settings:
                index:
                    analysis:
                        analyzer:
                            my_analyzer:
                                type: custom
                                tokenizer: lowercase
                                filter   : [my_ngram]
                        filter:
                            my_ngram:
                                type: "nGram"
                                min_gram: 3
                                max_gram: 5
            types:
                blog:
                    mappings:
                        title: { boost: 8, analyzer: my_analyzer }

Overriding the Client class to suppress exceptions

By default, exceptions from the Elastica client library will propagate through the bundle's Client class. For instance, if the elasticsearch server is offline, issuing a request will result in an Elastica_Exception_Client being thrown. Depending on your needs, it may be desirable to suppress these exceptions and allow searches to fail silently.

One way to achieve this is to override the foq_elastica.client.class service container parameter with a custom class. In the following example, we override the Client::request() method and return the equivalent of an empty search response if an exception occurred.

<?php

namespace Acme\ElasticaBundle;

use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Client as BaseClient;

class Client extends BaseClient
{
    public function request($path, $method, $data = array())
    {
        try {
            return parent::request($path, $method, $data);
        } catch (\Elastica_Exception_Abstract $e) {
            return new \Elastica_Response('{"took":0,"timed_out":false,"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":0,"hits":[]}}');
        }
    }
}
