elasticsearch client thread safety

Question

I am writting a query plugin, that will build the query for given keywords and pass it to elastic search client to process.

My handler class extends BaseRestHandler, and I've the Client object being injected in my handler's constructor.

@Inject
protected QueryHandler(Settings settings, Client client, RestController controller) {
    super(settings, client);
    controller.registerHandler(GET, "/_query/{queryBuilder}", this);
}

I was wondering if it's thread safe to use the same client object in handleRequest() method?

Answer 1

It looks like any implementation of the client is thread safe. Check out @kimchy's answer here: http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Is-NodeClient-thread-safe-td2816264.html
