Put Datafeed API

A PutDatafeedRequest requires the following argument:

PutDatafeedRequest request = new PutDatafeedRequest(datafeedBuilder.build()); 

The DatafeedConfig object contains all the details about the machine learning datafeed configuration.

A DatafeedConfig requires the following arguments:

DatafeedConfig.Builder datafeedBuilder = new DatafeedConfig.Builder(id, jobId) 
        .setIndices("index_1", "index_2");  

The following arguments are optional:

datafeedBuilder.setChunkingConfig(ChunkingConfig.newAuto()); 

datafeedBuilder.setFrequency(TimeValue.timeValueSeconds(30)); 

datafeedBuilder.setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery()); 

datafeedBuilder.setQueryDelay(TimeValue.timeValueMinutes(1)); 

datafeedBuilder.setScriptFields(scriptFields); 

datafeedBuilder.setScrollSize(1000); 

When executing a PutDatafeedRequest in the following manner, the client waits for the PutDatafeedResponse to be returned before continuing with code execution:

PutDatafeedResponse response = client.machineLearning().putDatafeed(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Executing a PutDatafeedRequest 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 put-datafeed method:

client.machineLearning().putDatafeedAsync(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT, listener); 

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 put-datafeed looks like:

ActionListener<PutDatafeedResponse> listener = new ActionListener<PutDatafeedResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(PutDatafeedResponse response) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Exception e) {
        
    }
};

The returned PutDatafeedResponse returns the full representation of the new machine learning datafeed if it has been successfully created. This will contain the creation time and other fields initialized using default values:

DatafeedConfig datafeed = response.getResponse();
