dp-dimension-search-builder

Handles inserting of dimension options into elasticsearch once a hierarchy for an instance becomes available; and creates an event by sending a message to the kafka $PRODUCER_TOPIC so services know when the data has successfully been inserted into elastic.

Consumes from the $HIERARCHY_BUILT_TOPIC
Retrieves the root node of the hierarchy via the hierarchy API, to get the root dimension option
Creates elastic search index /<instance_id>_<dimension> and adds parent dimension option
Retrieves all nodes in the tree below the root node and writing the data to the elasticsearch index
Produces a message to the $SEARCH_BUILT_TOPIC

Requirements

In order to run the service locally you will need the following:

Refer to https://github.com/ONSdigital/dp-import#dp-import for infrastructure setup of service

Getting started

Clone the repo go get github.com/ONSdigital/dp-dimension-search-builder
Run zookeeper and then kafka
Run elasticsearch
Run the hierarchy API, see documentation here
Run the application make debug

Healthcheck

The endpoint /healthcheck checks the connection to the database and returns one of:

success (200, JSON "status": "OK")
failure (500, JSON "status": "error").

Kafka scripts

Scripts for updating and debugging Kafka can be found here(dp-data-tools)
