Lua client for Elasticsearch

Re:Lua client for Elasticsearch by AznHisoka on Saturday July 04, 2015 @02:56PM (#9831210)

Is there any benefit to using Lua as opposed to Java or Ruby as a client for Elasticsearch (assuming one isn't using Lua already in their code)

If you're free to choose how to interact with ES you should use the native Java API [1]. All others are wrappers for the http client where the http client is a wrapper for the native Java client API.

Lua is commonly embedded in other programs, like nginx (via ngx_lua) or haproxy (starting in 1.6). This would let you interacti with elasticsearch from them.
