Deploy the Elasticsearch connector for Aerospike

1. Create an Aerospike cluster:

# aws
aerolab cluster create -c 2 -I t3a.medium -n mycluster
# docker
aerolab cluster create -c 2 -n mycluster

1. Create an Elasticsearch cluster, with Aerospike connector preinstalled on each node:

# aws
aerolab client create elasticsearch -c 2 -I t3a.large -n myes
# docker - limit each ES node to 4g ram
aerolab client create elasticsearch -c 2 -r 4 -n myes

1. Configure the Aerospike cluster to ship records to the connector:

aerolab xdr connect -S mycluster -D myes -c

Testing

1. Insert 2000 test records:

aerolab data insert -n mycluster -a 1 -z 2000

1. Query Elasticsearch:

   • Run aerolab client list to get your Elasticsearch server’s IP address.
   • Navigate to the Elasticsearch IP address, port 9200 in your browser to explore the data from Elasticsearch.

For best results, use the FireFox web browser. It has a built-in JSON format explorer, as well as support for self-signed certificates once the warning is acknowledged.

Example URLs:

• Show summary: https://ELASTICIP:9200/test/_search
• Show up to 1000 records: https://ELASTICIP:9200/test/_search?size=1000
• Show records where bin name mybin has value binvalue: https://ELASTICIP:9200/test/_search?q=mybin:binvalue
• Show up to 1000 records from set name myset: https://ELASTICIP:9200/test/_search?size=1000&q=metadata.set:myset

Replace ELASTICIP with the IP address of your Elasticsearch server.
