How to create index, migrate data with console command? about plastic HOT 8 CLOSED

The way I did it is :
php artisan make:command IndexModel
Make sure you register your command in kernel.

in it, changed protected $signature = 'command:ImportModelToES {min}';

The handle method looks like this :

public function handle()
    {
        $min = $this->argument('min');
        $max = $min+5000; //batch size
        $this->processModel($min, $max);
        $min = $min+5000; // these must match
        $this->info(memory_get_usage());
        unset($max);
        $this->call('command:ImportModelToES', ['min' => $min]);
    }

    protected function processModel($min, $max)
    {

        $models = Model::where('id', '>', $min)->where('id', '<=', $max)->get();

        Plastic::persist()->bulkSave($models);
        $this->info("Indexed to ES  from {min} to {max}.");

    }

Then you just call php artisan command:ImportModelToES 1 . I did it this way because of my requirements but there are more elegant ways to it. Look at chunk in laravel documentation

You can create and delete indexes as follows

Plastic::getClient()->indices()->delete(['index' => Plastic::getDefaultIndex()]);

Plastic::getClient()->indices()->create(['index' => Plastic::getDefaultIndex()]);

added this section to documentation ...

And what about creating of indeсes?

Is it required to create index manually or how to create index "on fly" if it does not exist?

from plastic.

I would suggest you create the indices manually, as you can specify the shards, replicas or other settings.
You can use https://github.com/royrusso/elasticsearch-HQ to create indices or https://github.com/lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf

My information might not be accurate, it's jut how I do it. You can wait for a response from sleimanx2 for certainty.

Already use elasticsearch-HQ but how you see this in production?
In production usually needs to create some kinds of deployment commands, no possibility to use GUI and I'm really hate to use different stupid scripts to do this important things

from plastic.

You just create the index on your production server ( with HQ or command), you do it once anyway. You specify the index in your plastic.php file, and that's it. No more configurations.

Thanks a lot. I think that need to add this code examples into readme
