Spring Data for OpenSearch

The primary goal of the Spring Data project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.

The Spring Data OpenSearch project provides Spring Data compatible integration with the OpenSearch search engine. Key functional areas of Spring Data OpenSearch are a POJO centric model for interacting with a OpenSearch Documents and easily writing a Repository style data access layer. This project is built on top of Spring Data Elasticsearch.

Features

• Spring configuration support using Java based @Configuration classes or an XML namespace for a OpenSearch clients instances.
• ElasticsearchOperations class and implementations that increases productivity performing common OpenSearch operations. Includes integrated object mapping between documents and POJOs.
• Feature Rich Object Mapping integrated with Spring’s Conversion Service
• Annotation based mapping metadata
• Automatic implementation of Repository interfaces including support for custom search methods.
• CDI support for repositories

About OpenSearch versions and clients

The Spring Data OpenSearch follows the release model of the Spring Data Elasticsearch / Spring Boot projects.

OpenSearch 2.x / 1.x client libraries

Spring Data OpenSearch provides the possibility to use either RestHighLevelCLient or OpenSearchClient to connect to OpenSearch clusters.

Using RestHighLevelCLient (default)

By default, the RestHighLevelCLient is configured as the means to communicate with OpenSearch clusters.

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-opensearch</artifactId>
	<version>1.5.3</version>
</dependency>

To use Spring Boot 3.x auto configuration support:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-opensearch-starter</artifactId>
	<version>1.5.3</version>
</dependency>

To use Spring Boot 3.x auto configuration support for testing:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-opensearch-test-autoconfigure</artifactId>
	<version>1.5.3</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Using OpenSearchClient (preferred)

To switch over to OpenSearchClient, the opensearch-rest-high-level-client dependency has to be replaced in favor of opensearch-java.

	<groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-opensearch</artifactId>

Getting Started

Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:

public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);

  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}

@Service
public class MyService {

  private final PersonRepository repository;

  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
    this.repository = repository;
  }

  public void doWork() {

    repository.deleteAll();

    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstname("Oliver");
    person.setLastname("Gierke");
    repository.save(person);

    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Gierke");
    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("Oli");
 }
}

Using the OpenSearch RestClient

Spring Data OpenSearch operates upon an OpenSearch client that is connected to a single OpenSearch node or a cluster. Although the OpenSearch Client can be used directly to work with the cluster, applications using Spring Data Elasticsearch normally use the higher level abstractions of ElasticsearchOperations and repositories (please consult official Spring Data Elasticsearch documentation). Use the builder to provide cluster addresses, set default HttpHeaders or enable SSL.

import org.opensearch.data.client.orhlc.AbstractOpenSearchConfiguration;
import org.opensearch.data.client.orhlc.ClientConfiguration;
import org.opensearch.data.client.orhlc.RestClients;

@Configuration
public class RestClientConfig extends AbstractOpenSearchConfiguration {

    @Override
    @Bean
    public RestHighLevelClient opensearchClient() {

        final ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = ClientConfiguration.builder()
                .connectedTo("localhost:9200")
                .build();

        return RestClients.create(clientConfiguration).rest();
    }
}

Once RestHighLevelClient is created, it is also possible to obtain the lowLevelRest() client.

// ...

  @Autowired
  RestHighLevelClient highLevelClient;

  RestClient lowLevelClient = highLevelClient.getLowLevelClient();

// ...

IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest("spring-data")
  .id(randomID())
  .source(singletonMap("feature", "high-level-rest-client"))
  .setRefreshPolicy(IMMEDIATE);

IndexResponse response = highLevelClient.index(request,RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Client Configuration

Client behaviour can be changed via the ClientConfiguration that allows to set options for SSL, connect and socket timeouts, headers and other parameters.

HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
httpHeaders.add("some-header", "on every request")

ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = ClientConfiguration.builder()
  .connectedTo("localhost:9200", "localhost:9291")
  .usingSsl()
  .withProxy("localhost:8888")
  .withPathPrefix("ola")
  .withConnectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
  .withSocketTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(3))
  .withDefaultHeaders(defaultHeaders)
  .withBasicAuth(username, password)
  .withHeaders(() -> {
    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.add("currentTime", LocalDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME));
    return headers;
  })
  .withClientConfigurer(clientConfigurer -> {
  	  // ...
      return clientConfigurer;
  	}))
  . // ... other options
  .build();

In this code snippet, the client configuration was customized to:

• Define default headers, if they need to be customized
• Use the builder to provide cluster addresses, set default HttpHeaders or enable SSL.
• Optionally enable SSL.
• Optionally set a proxy.
• Optionally set a path prefix, mostly used when different clusters a behind some reverse proxy.
• Set the connection timeout (default is 10 sec).
• Set the socket timeout (default is 5 sec).
• Optionally set headers.
• Add basic authentication.
• A Supplier<Header> function can be specified which is called every time before a request is sent to OpenSearch - here, as an example, the current time is written in a header.
• A function configuring the low level REST client

Spring Boot integration

If you are using Spring Data OpenSearch along with Spring Boot 3.x, there is a dedicated spring-data-opensearch-starter module. You may consider excluding the ElasticsearchDataAutoConfiguration configuration from automatic discovery (otherwise, the Elasticsearch related initialization kicks in, see please spring-projects/spring-boot#33010).

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {ElasticsearchDataAutoConfiguration.class})
public class OpenSearchDemoApplication {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(OpenSearchDemoApplication.class, args);
  }
}

For testing purposes, there is a new @DataOpenSearchTest annotation that is provided by spring-data-opensearch-test-autoconfigure (requires spring-boot-test-autoconfigure) module to simplify testing Spring Data OpenSearch (it explicitly excludes ElasticsearchDataAutoConfiguration from the list of configurations). Here is the typical usage along with @EnableElasticsearchRepositories:

@DataOpenSearchTest
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories
public class MarketplaceRepositoryIntegrationTests {
   ...
}

Spring Boot Service Connection

Testcontainers Service Connections

See https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/testing/testcontainers.html#testing.testcontainers.service-connections

@Container
@ServiceConnection
static final OpenSearchContainer<?> container = new OpenSearchContainer<>("opensearchproject/opensearch:2.15.0");

So, the client will take values from the OpenSearchContainer configuration.

Docker Compose Service Connections

See https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/features/dev-services.html#features.dev-services.docker-compose.service-connections
