This is the driver for JDBC connectivity to a cluster running with Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL support.
The driver is compatible with JDBC 4.2 specification and requires a minimum of Java 8.
The driver comes in the form of a single jar file. To use it, simply place it on the classpath of the Java application that needs to use it.
If using with JDBC compatible BI tools, refer to the tool documentation on configuring a new JDBC driver. Typically, all that's required is to make the tool aware of the location of the driver jar and then use it to setup database (i.e Elasticsearch) connections.
To setup a connection, the driver requires a JDBC connection URL. The connection URL is of the form:
jdbc:elasticsearch://[scheme://][host][:port][/context-path]?[property-key=value]&[property-key2=value2]..&[property-keyN=valueN]
-
scheme
Can be one of http or https. Default is http.
-
host
Hostname or IP address of the target cluster. Default is localhost.
-
port
Port number on which the cluster's REST interface is listening. Default value depends on the scheme selected. For http, the default is 9200. For https, the default is 443.
-
context-path
The context path at which the cluster REST interface is rooted. Not needed if the REST interface is simply available on the '/' context path.
-
property key=value
The query string portion of the connection URL can contain desired connection settings in the form of one or more property-key=value pairs. The possible configuration properties are provided in the table below. The property keys are case sensitive but values are not unless otherwise indicated.
Note that JDBC provides multiple APIs for specifying connection properties of which specifying them in the connection URL is just one. When directly coding with the driver you can choose any of the other options (refer sample code below). If you are setting up a connection via a tool, it is likely the tool will allow you to specify the connection URL with just the scheme, host, port and context-path components) while the the connection properties are provided separately. For example, you may not wish to place the user and password in the connection URL. Check the tool you are using for such support.
The configurable connection properties are:
Property Key Description Accepted Value(s) Default value user Connection username. mandatory if auth
property selects a authentication scheme that mandates a username valueany string null
password Connection password. mandatory if auth
property selects a authentication scheme that mandates a password valueany string null
fetchSize Cursor page size positive integer value. Max value is limited by index.max_result_window

(AWS SIGV4)basic
if username and/or password is specified,NONE
otherwiseawsCredentialsProvider The AWS credential provider to be used when authentication mechanism is AWS_SIGV4
(AWS SIGV4). If not set, the driver will use DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain to sign the request. Note that the driver renamed the namespaces of its dependencies, so the value has to be an instance of com.amazonaws.opendistro.elasticsearch.sql.jdbc.shadow.com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentialsProviderInstance of an AWSCredentialProvider DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain region if authentication type is aws_sigv4
, then this is the region value to use when signing requests. Only needed if the driver can not determine the region for the host endpoint. The driver will detect the region if the host endpoint matches a known url pattern.a valid AWS region value e.g. us-east-1 null
(auto-detected if possible from the host endpoint)requestCompression whether to indicate acceptance of compressed (gzip) responses when making server requests true

The main Driver class is com.amazon.opendistroforelasticsearch.jdbc.Driver
. If the driver jar is on the application classpath, no other configuration is required.
Code samples to open a connection for some typical scenarios are given below:
- Connect to localhost on port 9200 with no authentication over a plain connection
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://localhost:9200";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host on default SSL port with no authentication
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
or,
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("useSSL", "true");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host with HTTP Basic authentication over an SSL/TLS connection on the default SSL/TLS port. Note - if a username and password are provided and
auth
property is not provided, basic auth is implicitly used.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name";
String user = "username";
String password = "password";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
or,
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("useSSL", "true");
properties.put("user", "username");
properties.put("password", "password");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host with HTTP Basic authentication over an SSL/TLS connection, allowing any self-signed certificate and optionally turning off hostname verification. This may be useful for a dev/test setup.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("useSSL", "true");
properties.put("trustSelfSigned", "true");
// uncomment below to turn off hostname verification
// properties.put("hostnameVerification", "false");
properties.put("user", "username");
properties.put("password", "password");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host on default SSL port with AWS Sig V4 authentication. The driver will determine the credentials used to sign the request just like the standard aws-sdk i.e. in standard directories, environment variables etc.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name?auth=aws_sigv4";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
or,
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("auth", "aws_sigv4");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host on default SSL port with AWS Sig V4 authentication, explicitly specifying the AWSCredentialProvider to use
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("awsCredentialsProvider", new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider());
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host on default SSL port with AWS Sig V4 authentication, explicitly specifying the region to use in the request signing.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name?auth=aws_sigv4®ion=us-west-1";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
or,
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://https://remote-host-name";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("auth", "aws_sigv4");
properties.put("region", "us-west-2");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
The driver also provides a javax.sql.DataSource implementation via the com.amazon.opendistroforelasticsearch.jdbc.ElasticsearchDataSource
class that can be used to obtain a connection. Here are some typical code samples:

.
.
String url = "jdbc:elasticsearch://localhost:9200";
ElasticsearchDataSource ds = new ElasticsearchDataSource();
ds.setUrl(url);
Connection con = ds.getConnection(url);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
.
// use the connection
.
// close connection
con.close();
- Connect to a remote host on default SSL port with no authentication
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Statement;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

The driver will be available through standard open source repositories for Java artifacts.
The driver is built as a shadow jar so that its dependencies are bundled within itself. This way no additional libraries besides the driver jar need to be placed on an application classpath for the driver to be used. The namespaces of the bundled dependencies are modified to ensure they do not conflict with other classes on the application classpath.
./gradlew clean test shadowJar
./gradlew shadowJar
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
