Tire (renamed to 'retire') is a Ruby client library and DSL for the Elasticsearch search engine, offering fluent query building and ActiveModel/ActiveRecord integration for Rails apps. It was officially retired in September 2013 and is not compatible with Elasticsearch 1.x; users should use the elasticsearch-rails gems instead.

Use cases

  • index and search documents in elasticsearch from ruby
  • build elasticsearch queries with a fluent dsl
  • integrate elasticsearch with activerecord models in rails
  • run full-text search over rest api in ruby
  • manage elasticsearch indices from ruby code

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy ruby application already built on tire with elasticsearch 0.20.x
  • studying dsl design for search client libraries

When to avoid

  • starting a new ruby project needing elasticsearch
  • running elasticsearch 1.x or newer
  • needing maintained, supported search integration
