HOWTO: Make a Page Provider or Content View Query Elasticsearch Index

When configuring a content view in Nuxeo Studio, you can make it query Elasticsearch instead of the Core API. This may be interesting for performance/scalability reasons as well as for enabling aggregates support. This page lists the required steps:

Overriding an Existing Page Provider

See in nuxeo.conf the property "elasticsearch.override.pageproviders". Uncomment it and pickup some of the mentioned page providers.

elasticsearch.override.pageproviders=default_search,document_content,section_content,document_content,tree_children,default_document_suggestion,simple_search,advanced_search,nxql_search,DEFAULT_DOCUMENT_SUGGESTION

You can view the list of the Page Providers in the Admin Center/Elasticsearch/Page Provider tab, the CoreQueryDocumentPageProvider listed in blue can be overridden by Elasticsearch.

Configuring a New Content View (and underlying Page Provider) With Nuxeo Studio

1. In Studio, on the content view, on the query & form tab, check "Use Elasticsearch index" and Save.
