elasticshell - a shell for elasticsearch

The elasticshell is a command line shell that allows to easily interact with elasticsearch. The following are main features that the elasticshell provides:

• a json friendly environment, where json objects are native
• support for multi-line operations
• helpful auto complete suggestions that work either within json or java objects
• it connects to elasticsearch using the Java API and allows to choose between a transport client and a node client
• allows to startup a local node that can be useful to learn elasticsearch and play around with it without installing it (which takes no time though)
• exposes all the elasticsearch API
• supports both java and javascript for advanced use cases
• allows to load external script files that contain shell commands (java code, javascript, or specific commands that are part of the elasticshell itself)
• allows to execute configurable commands at startup
