Standalone utility to stream different inputs into Elasticsearch.
You'll need Java 7. Run java -version to make sure.
Then download stream2es:
% curl -O download.elasticsearch.org/stream2es/stream2es; chmod +x stream2es
By default, stream2es reads JSON documents from stdin.
% echo '{"field":1}' | stream2es
create index http://localhost:9200/foo

What is the output telling me?
00:12.000: MM:SS that the app has been running
73.2d/s: Docs per second indexed
1036.1K/s: Bytes per second indexed (bulk transferred over the wire)
878: Total docs indexed so far
266: Docs in bulk
3167860: Total JSON bytes of docs in the bulk
0: Total docs that have had indexing errors so far
1404: The _id of the first doc in the bulk
If you're at a café or want to use a local copy of the dump, supply --source:
% ./stream2es wiki --max-docs 5 --source /d/data/enwiki-20121201-pages-articles.xml.bz2
If you use the es stream, you can copy indices from one Elasticsearch to another. Example:
% stream2es es \
--source http://foo.local:9200/wiki \
--target http://bar.local:9200/wiki2
This is a convenient way to reindex data if you need to change the number of shards or update your mapping.
In order to stream Twitter, you have to create an app and authorize it.
Visit (https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new) and create an app. Call it stream2es. Note the Consumer key and Consumer secret.
Now run stream2es twitter --authorize --key CONSUMER_KEY --secret CONSUMER_SECRET and complete the dialog.
You should now be able to stream twitter with simply stream2es twitter. stream2es will grab the most recent cached credentials from ~/.authinfo.stream2es.

You can change index settings by supplying --settings:

{
"settings": {

stream2es is written in Clojure. You'll need leiningen 2.0+ to build.
