Elasticsearch Helper
This module provides tools to integrate with Elasticsearch by creating custom plugins that wrap Elasticsearch's API. It defines a base ElasticsearchIndex plugin for developers to extend, allowing for tailored Elasticsearch integrations without abstracting away the underlying API.
Elasticsearch Helper is a helper module to work with Elasticsearch on Drupal project.
Whereas modules like elasticsearch_connector and other search_api plugins try to abstract away the actual API of Elasticsearch, this module tries to embrace it instead. It provides some common tools on which to build your own integration.
The module defines an "ElasticsearchIndex" plugin type and a base implementation for you to extend. Unless you define your own plugin, this module will not do anything. Take a look at the included elasticsearch_helper_example module for example plugins.
