sonic-ruby

A Ruby client for Sonic search backend.

Installation

Add following line to your Gemfile:

gem 'sonic-ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it system-wide:

$ gem install sonic-ruby

Usage

Start with creating new client:

client = Sonic::Client.new('localhost', 1491, 'SecretPassword')

Now you can use #channel method in order to connect to specific channels:

control = client.channel(:control)
ingest = client.channel(:ingest)
search = client.channel(:search)

Learn more about Sonic Channels.

Indexing

# Init `ingest` channel
ingest = client.channel(:ingest)

# Add data to index
ingest.push('users', 'all', 1, 'Alexander Tipugin')
# => true

# Remove data from index
ingest.pop('users', 'all', 1, 'Alexander Tipugin')
# => 2

# Count collection/bucket/object items
ingest.count('users', 'all', 1)
# => 1

# Flush entire collection
ingest.flushc('users')
# => 1

# Flush entire bucket inside collection
ingest.flushb('users', 'all')
# => 1

# Flush specific object inside bucket
ingest.flusho('users', 'all', 1)
# => 2

Searching

# Init `search` channel
search = client.channel(:search)

# Find indexed object by term
search.query('users', 'all', 'tipugin')
# => 1

# Auto-complete word
search.suggest('users', 'all', 'alex')
# => alexander

TODO

• Take into account maximum buffer size.
• Consider using connection pool.
• Return more meaningful responses from commands (i.e. bool true instead of string OK, int 1 instead of string RESULT 1 etc).
