On behalf of the development team around Mohsin Husen at BioMed Central I am happy to announce the first milestone of the Spring Data Elasticsearch community module.

The release of the module implements the well-known Spring Data programming model on top of Elasticsearch includes support for dynamic mapping (nested type, object, parent child), index and search API, facets, highlighting, aliasing, more-like-this, scan & scroll etc.

From a Spring Data perspective this release features support for templates, repositories, CDI, Java and XML-style configuration. Entities will be automatically converted into JSON documents and indexed to Elasticsearch, which can be queried using template and repositories.

The artifacts are available in our milestone repository. The change log can be found here. Find out more about the on the project on its GitHub page: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch
