README

This libary must not be used anymore, since it is tighly coupled with tao extensions and its code is not reusable for other applications.

Please, refer to the Advanced Search extension when implementing elastic search integration related to search in the TAO platform.

lib-tao-elasticsearch

Elastic Search engine

Install:

Cli script based approach

sudo php vendor/oat-sa/lib-tao-elasticsearch/bin/activateElasticSearch.php <pathToTaoRoot> <host> <port> <login> <password>

• pathToTaoRoot it's root path of your tao
• host it's host of your elasticsearch environment. localhost by default.
• port it's port of your elasticsearch environment. 9200 by default.
• login it's login for you elasticsearch environment. Optional property.
• password it's password for you elasticsearch environment. Optional property.

Seed file based approach

Following section to be included into seed file and describes an engine, connectivity string, service configuration and fallback

        "tao": {
          "search": {
            "type": "configurableService",
            "class": "oat\\tao\\elasticsearch\\ElasticSearch",
            "options": {
              "hosts": [
                {
                  "host": "elasticsearch",
                  "port": 9200
                }
              ],
              "settings": {
                "analysis": {
                  "filter": {
                    "autocomplete_filter": {
                      "type": "edge_ngram",
                      "min_gram": 1,
                      "max_gram": 100
                    }
                  },
                  "analyzer": {
                    "autocomplete": {
                      "type": "custom",
                      "tokenizer": "standard",
                      "filter": [
                        "lowercase",
                        "autocomplete_filter"
                      ]
                    }
                  }
                }
              },
              "oat\\tao\\model\\search\\strategy\\GenerisSearch": {
                "type": "configurableService",
                "class": "oat\\tao\\model\\search\\strategy\\GenerisSearch"
              }
            }
          }
        }

For the proper index structure creation on installation stage following may be used, where indexFiles contains the absolute path to the declaration, sample provided within this lib (@TODO should be decoupled)

"postInstall": [
    {
      "class": "\\oat\\tao\\elasticsearch\\Action\\IndexCreator",
      "params": [
        "--indexFiles",
        "/var/www/html/vendor/oat-sa/lib-tao-elasticsearch/config/index.conf.php"
      ]
    }
  ]

Setting Up:

Add your elasticsearch host to the config/tao/search.conf.php like 
    'hosts' => array(
        'http://localhost:9200'
    ),

Add you castom settings, filters or analysis

 'settings' => array(
        'analysis' => array(
            'filter' => array(
                'autocomplete_filter' => array(
                    'type' => 'edge_ngram',
                    'min_gram' => 1,
                    'max_gram' => 100
                )
            ),
            'analyzer' => array(
                'autocomplete' => array(
                    'type' => 'custom',
                    'tokenizer' => 'standard',
                    'filter' => array(
                        'lowercase',
                        'autocomplete_filter'
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    ),
 'isMap' => true

After this step, you need to fill the index with documents. to do this, you must run:

$ bash tao/scripts/tools/index/IndexPopulator.sh <TAO_PLATFORM_ROOT>

This script will index all resources on the TAO platform for elastic search.
