  1. == Overview
  2. Official low-level client for Elasticsearch. Allows to communicate with an
  3. Elasticsearch cluster through http. Compatible with all elasticsearch versions.
  4. === Features
  5. The low-level client's features include:
  6. * minimal dependencies
  7. * load balancing across all available nodes
  8. * failover in case of node failures and upon specific response codes
  9. * failed connection penalization (whether a failed node is retried depends on
  10. how many consecutive times it failed; the more failed attempts the longer the
  11. client will wait before trying that same node again)
  12. * persistent connections
  13. * trace logging of requests and responses
  14. * optional automatic <<sniffer,discovery of cluster nodes>>
