Transport classes¶
List of transport classes that can be used, simply import your choice and pass
it to the constructor of Elasticsearch
as
connection_class. Note that the
RequestsHttpConnection
requires requests
to be installed.
For example to use the requests
-based connection just import it and use it:
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection
es = Elasticsearch(connection_class=RequestsHttpConnection)
The default connection class is based on urllib3
which is more performant
and lightweight than the optional requests
-based class. Only use
RequestsHttpConnection
if you have need of any of requests
advanced
features like custom auth plugins etc.
