The latest enpoints for search and document updating are /v2/search and /v2/document. This API is only usable with the proxy class ElaticsearchProxyV2_1. Please refer to this search service updating doc to understand the latest search service changes.
Amundsen Search service serves a Restful API and is responsible for searching metadata. The service leverages Elasticsearch for most of it's search capabilites.
The search service searches through 4 indexes by default:
- table_search_index_v2_1
- user_search_index_v2_1
- dashboard_search_index_v2_1
- feature_search_index_v2_1
For information about Amundsen and our other services, refer to this README.md. Please also see our instructions for a quick start setup of Amundsen with dummy data, and an overview of the architecture.
- Python >= 3.7
- Elasticsearch, supported versions:
- 7.x
- 8.0.0

$ curl -v http://localhost:5001/healthcheckBy default, Flask comes with a Werkzeug webserver, which is used for development. For production environments a production grade web server such as Gunicorn should be used.
$ pip3 install gunicorn
$ gunicorn search_service.search_wsgi
# In a different terminal, verify the service is up by running
$ curl -v http://localhost:8000/healthcheckFor more imformation see the Gunicorn configuration documentation.
By default, Search service uses LocalConfig that looks for Elasticsearch running in localhost.
In order to use different end point, you need to create a Config suitable for your use case. Once a config class has been created, it can be referenced by an environment variable: SEARCH_SVC_CONFIG_MODULE_CLASS
For example, in order to have different config for production, you can inherit Config class, create Production config and passing production config class into environment variable. Let's say class name is ProdConfig and it's in search_service.config module. then you can set as below:
SEARCH_SVC_CONFIG_MODULE_CLASS=search_service.config.ProdConfig
This way Search service will use production config in production environment. For more information on how the configuration is being loaded and used, here's reference from Flask doc.
- PEP 8: Amundsen Search service follows PEP8 - Style Guide for Python Code.
- Typing hints: Amundsen Search service also utilizes Typing hint for better readability.
We have Swagger documentation setup with OpenApi 3.0.2. This documentation is generated via Flasgger.
When adding or updating an API please make sure to update the documentation. To see the documentation run the application locally and go to localhost:5001/apidocs/.
Currently the documentation only works with local configuration.
