Configuring Tire to work with Bonsai

configuring tire for bonsai.md

1. Configure Tire to use the Bonsai ElasticSearch Heroku add-on

gem 'tire'

config/initializers/bonsai.rb

ENV['ELASTICSEARCH_URL'] = ENV['BONSAI_URL']

app/models/article.rb

class Article
  include Tire::Model::Search
  include Tire::Model::Callbacks
end

2. Create the index and import your documents

rake environment tire:import CLASS=Article FORCE=true

Known issues

There are no "known issues" with Tire and Bonsai at the moment. Having trouble with something in particular? Drop us a line at [email protected].

• Custom index analyzers must be set at index creation time. Ability to dynamically create, modify and destroy indexes.
• Bulk import uses cluster-level /_bulk handler rather than the index-level _bulk handler, causing bulk imports to fail. Issue 327
• Multi-model search is not scoped within the index. Issue 322
• Undefined method [] for nil:NilClass on index.settings. Bonsai shared cluster indices are mapped to a random identifier, whereas Tire expects the logical index name in the _index response. To be fixed within Bonsai. Email [email protected] if this is affecting you. Issue 386
• ES Alias API not fully supported in Bonsai. Email [email protected] if you would like to beta test that.

I have the same problem as @pawel2105 had and wonder what is the solution? Via curl locally all works fine. But I get this error when I try to import.

Hi @criscrossed, you should email [email protected] with your account information so I can check that out.

Updated the setup instructions to remove the "optional" combined index strategy. Our plans offer sufficient shards these days to support most common index-per-model sharding strategies.

@nz - have you switched over to elasticsearch-rails gem? i'm trying to install it and it's giving me problems with Faraday.
