Two years ago wikimedia has made available dumps of the production elasticsearch indices. So to load wikipedia, also wiktionary, into elastic is now very simple
The indices are exported every week and for each wiki there are two exports.
The content index, which contains only article pages, called content;
The general index, containing all pages. This includes talk pages, templates, etc, called general;
you can find them here http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/cirrussearch/current/
create a mapping according your needs. For example:
{
"mappings": {
"page": {
"properties": {
"auxiliary_text": {
"type": "text"
},
"category": {
"type": "text"
},
"coordinates": {
"properties": {
"coord": {
"properties": {
"lat": {
"type": "double"
},
"lon": {
"type": "double"
}
}
},
"country": {
"type": "text"
},
"dim": {
"type": "long"
},
"globe": {
"type": "text"
},
"name": {
"type": "text"
},
"primary": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"region": {
"type": "text"
},
"type": {
"type": "text"
}
}
},
"defaultsort": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"external_link": {
"type": "text"
},
"heading": {
"type": "text"
},
"incoming_links": {
"type": "long"
},
"language": {
"type": "text"
},
"namespace": {
"type": "long"
},
"namespace_text": {
"type": "text"
},
"opening_text": {
"type": "text"
},
"outgoing_link": {
"type": "text"
},
"popularity_score": {
"type": "double"
},
"redirect": {
"properties": {
"namespace": {
"type": "long"
},
"title": {
"type": "text"
}
}
},
"score": {
"type": "double"
},
"source_text": {
"type": "text"
},
"template": {
"type": "text"
},
"text": {
"type": "text"
},
"text_bytes": {
"type": "long"
},
"timestamp": {
"type": "date",
"format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis"
},
"title": {
"type": "text"
},
"version": {
"type": "long"
},
"version_type": {
"type": "text"
},
"wiki": {
"type": "text"
},
"wikibase_item": {
"type": "text"
}
}
}
}
}
once you have created the index you just type:
zcat enwiki-current-cirrussearch-general.json.gz | parallel --pipe -L 2 -N 2000 -j3 'curl -s http://localhost:9200/enwiki/_bulk --data-binary @- > /dev/null'
Enjoy!
