= Spring Data for Elasticsearch image:https://img.shields.io/badge/Revved%20up%20by-Develocity-06A0CE?logo=Gradle&labelColor=02303A["Revved up by Develocity", link="https://ge.spring.io/scans?search.rootProjectNames=Spring Data Elasticsearch"]

The primary goal of the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.

The Spring Data Elasticsearch project provides integration with the https://www.elastic.co/[Elasticsearch] search engine.
Key functional areas of Spring Data Elasticsearch are a POJO centric model for interacting with Elasticsearch Documents and easily writing a Repository style data access layer.

This project is lead and maintained by the community.

== Features

* Spring configuration support using Java based `@Configuration` classes or an XML namespace for an ES client instances.
* `ElasticsearchOperations` class and implementations that increases productivity performing common ES operations.
Includes integrated object mapping between documents and POJOs.
* Feature Rich Object Mapping integrated with Spring’s Conversion Service
* Annotation based mapping metadata
* Automatic implementation of `Repository` interfaces including support for custom search methods.
* CDI support for repositories

== Getting Started

Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:

[source,java]
----
public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);

  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}

@Service
public class MyService {

  private final PersonRepository repository;

  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
    this.repository = repository;
  }

  public void doWork() {

    repository.deleteAll();

    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstname("Oliver");
    person.setLastname("Gierke");
    repository.save(person);

    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Gierke");
    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("Oli");
 }
}
----

=== Using the RestClient

**Compatibility Matrix**

The compatibility between Spring Data Elasticsearch, Elasticsearch client drivers and Spring Boot versions can be found in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/elasticsearch/docs/current/reference/html/#preface.versions[reference documentation].

To use the Release candidate versions of the upcoming major version, use our Maven milestone repository and declare the appropriate dependency version:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
  <version>${version}.RCx</version> <!-- x being 1, 2, ... -->
