Configuration Configuration

Following aspects need to be considered in index configuration:

General Configuration Options

In the config_options area general elasticsearch settings can be made - like hosts, index settings, etc.

client_config
  • logging: true/false to activate logging of elasticsearch client
  • indexName: index name to be used, if not provided tenant name is used as index name
index_settings

Index settings that are used when creating a new index. They are passed 1:1 as settings param to the body of the create index command. Details see also elasticsearch Docs.

es_client_params
  • hosts: Array of hosts of the elasticsearch cluster to use.
  • indexType: Necessary for elasticsearch 5 - defines the type name of products in index. For elasticsearch 6 it is optional, do not use it for elasticsearch 7.
synonym_providers

Specify synonym providers for synonym filters defined in filter section of index settings. For details see Synonyms.

Sample Config

pimcore_ecommerce_framework:
    index_service:
        tenants:
            MyEsTenant:
                config_options:
                    client_config:
                        logging: false
                        indexName: 'ecommerce-demo-elasticsearch'

                    es_client_params:
                        hosts:
                            - '%elasticsearch.host%'
                        indexType: '_doc' # optional for elasticsearch 6, not needed for elasticsearch 7

                    index_settings:
                        number_of_shards: 5
                        number_of_replicas: 0
                        max_ngram_diff: 30
                        analysis:
                            analyzer:
                                my_ngram_analyzer:
                                    tokenizer: my_ngram_tokenizer
                                whitelist_analyzer:
                                    tokenizer: standard
                                    filter:
                                      - white_list_filter
                            tokenizer:
                                my_ngram_tokenizer:
                                    type: nGram
                                    min_gram: 2
                                    max_gram: 15
                                    token_chars: [letter, digit]
                            filter:
                                white_list_filter:
                                    type: keep
                                    keep_words:
                                      - was
                                      - WAS

Data Types for attributes

The type of the data attributes needs to be set to elasticsearch data types. Be careful, some types changed between elasticsearch 5 and 6 (like string vs. keyword/text).

pimcore_ecommerce_framework:
    index_service:
        tenants:
            MyEsTenant:
                attributes:
                    name:
                        locale: '%%locale%%'
                        type: keyword

In addition to the type configuration, you also can provide custom mappings for a field. If provided, these mapping configurations are used for creating the mapping of the elasticsearch index.

You can also skip the type and mapping, then ES will try to create dynamic mapping.
