Post Data API
editPost Data API
editThe Post Data API provides the ability to post data to an open
machine learning job in the cluster.
It accepts a PostDataRequest
object and responds
with a PostDataResponse
object.
Post Data Request
editA PostDataRequest
object gets created with an existing non-null jobId
and the XContentType
being sent. Individual docs can be added
incrementally via the PostDataRequest.JsonBuilder#addDoc
method.
These are then serialized and sent in bulk when passed to the PostDataRequest
.
Alternatively, the serialized bulk content can be set manually, along with its XContentType
through one of the other PostDataRequest
constructors.
Only XContentType.JSON
and XContentType.SMILE
are supported.
PostDataRequest.JsonBuilder jsonBuilder = new PostDataRequest.JsonBuilder(); Map<String, Object> mapData = new HashMap<>(); mapData.put("total", 109); jsonBuilder.addDoc(mapData); jsonBuilder.addDoc("{\"total\":1000}"); PostDataRequest postDataRequest = new PostDataRequest("test-post-data", jsonBuilder);
Optional Arguments
editThe following arguments are optional.
Synchronous Execution
editWhen executing a PostDataRequest
in the following manner, the client waits
for the PostDataResponse
to be returned before continuing with code execution:
PostDataResponse postDataResponse = client.machineLearning().postData(postDataRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
Asynchronous Execution
editExecuting a PostDataRequest
can also be done in an asynchronous fashion so that
the client can return directly. Users need to specify how the response or
potential failures will be handled by passing the request and a listener to the
asynchronous post-data method:
The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is
completed the ActionListener
is called back using the onResponse
method
if the execution successfully completed or using the onFailure
method if
it failed.
A typical listener for post-data
looks like:
Post Data Response
editA PostDataResponse
contains current data processing statistics.
