A small script written in Python used to index a CouchDB 2.x database with Elasticsearch - blog announcement.

The ideea of this script is inspired from couchdb rivers.

🔺 The script is not well tested, I just adapted in a few hours the script for CouchDB 1.x.

Start Indexing database db1:

End Indexing database db1:

The python program require an ini file, created like that:

#
# Config file for indexing CouchDB with Elasticsearch
#


[ES]
index_name = db1
type_name = test1


[CouchDB]
dbname = db1
dbindex = index
index_doc_seq = db1
bulk_size = 1000


[app]
#seconds
delay = 1
verbose = True

Section [ES] is for Elasticsearch.

Section [CouchDB]:

dbname = which database is indexed

dbindex = in which database to store last sequence processed

index_doc_seq = name of document which keep last sequence processed

bulk_size = size of batch used to read from CouchDB and to write to ES

Section [app] keep some generic settings, after last sequence is processed, program wait for a while before to check for changes.

Feel free to use this software for both personal and commercial usage.
