• Commented on ElasticSearch::AnyEvent pre-release available on github
  Yes, we have two async backends: AnyEvent::HTTP - https://metacpan.org/module/ElasticSearch::Transport::AEHTTP libcurl - https://metacpan.org/module/ElasticSearch::Transport::AECurl Just install these modules and use "transport" to choose your backend: $e = ElasticSearch->new( transport=>'aehttp' ); However, Elastic::Model doesn't have async support yet - still working on that....
• Posted RFC: Single or multiple instances of ORM objects? to Clinton Gormley

  In our homegrown ORM we have an in-memory cache, which enables us at any one time.

  In other words:

• Commented on ElasticSearch::Sequence - a blazing fast ticket server
  Hi JT While I will probably use ES's non-int keys for my new application, my existing code expects integer keys (and they're easier to read). So migration would be made easier by having this option available. Regardless, I wanted to...
• Posted ElasticSearch::Sequence - a blazing fast ticket server to Clinton Gormley

  I'm considering ditching my RDBM for my next application and using ElasticSearch as my only data store.

  My home-grown framework uses unique IDs for all objects, which currently come from a MySQL auto-increment column, and my framework expects th…

• Commented on Perlish concise query syntax for ElasticSearch
  Hi Ask Yes, an empty filter or query element will be ignored. Re the { foo => ['-and','bar','baz']} That syntax is straight from SQL::Abstract, and the combination of -and|-or with []{} can get tricky. Your example of { foo =>['-and'...

  Announcing ElasticSearch::SearchBuilder

  In Perl, we like to put important things first, so the ElasticSearch query language has always felt a bit wrong to me. For instance, to find docs where the content field contains the text k…

• Posted Firefox 4 bug adding inline script tag - last tag doesn't fire to Clinton Gormley

  I came across a nasty bug in Firefox 4 today, which will break a lot of AJAX.

  All script tags fire, except for the last one, eg:

  
  function test(num) {
      var temp = document.createElement('div');
      var src  = '<script …

• Commented on How to set up your own PerlMongers web service in 10 minutes or less
  Hmmm,that's weird. Especially as that particular entry has only ASCII characters. What's the error you get in the elasticsearch log? I wonder if this is a version thing - what version of Perl , XML::Simple, WWW::Mechanize and WWW::Mechanize::Cached are you...
• Posted Lazyweb: ElasticSearch proxy to Clinton Gormley

  Hi all

  We get a lot of people who want to use javascript to talk to their ElasticSearch server, directly from the browser.

  This poses a problem, as ElasticSearch doesn't offer any authentication, or request filtering.

  I'd like to w…

• Commented on How to set up your own PerlMongers web service in 10 minutes or less
  Hi Oalders nice post! One question: why do you encode to UTF8? That should be handled by ElasticSearch.pm. Did you see any issues with encoding? I tried deleting that block and rerunning the script, and the encoding seems fine. ta...

• Posted ElasticSearch::AnyEvent pre-release available on github to Clinton Gormley

• Aristotle commented on Simple config for the perl debugger

  sub afterinit { push @$DB::pretype, 'v' }

• Chisel commented on Simple config for the perl debugger

  I've not stumbled across pretype before; that looks much simpler! Thanks.

• Chisel commented on Simple config for the perl debugger

  sub afterinit { push @$DB::pretype, 'v' }

  seems to suffer from the same buildup of 'v' commands.

  After a couple of (R)estarts:

  DB x @$DB::pretype
0 'v'
1 'v'
2 'v'
3 'v'

• Nate Jones commented on Simple config for the perl debugger

  This worked for me:
  

  
  
  sub afterinit { push @$DB::pretype, 'v' unless grep { /v/ } @$DB::pretype; } ;
  
  

• Chisel commented on Simple config for the perl debugger

  I'd use /^v$/ out of paranoia, but great suggestion!
