dynamo2es-lambda

Configurable AWS Lambda handler to index documents from DynamoDB Streams in Amazon Elasticsearch Service.

Installation

$ npm install dynamo2es-lambda

Usage

dynamo2es-lambda takes options object and returns AWS Lambda handler (using lambda-handler-as-promised) that is ready to be connected to any DynamoDB Stream. options object supports the following configuration options:

• index - { String } - Elasticsearch index to be used for all the documents; optional if indexField is provided
• type - { String } - Elasticsearch type to be used for all the documents; optional if typeField is provided
• [elasticsearch - alias: es] - { Object } - Elasticsearch configuration; under the hood library uses aws-elasticsearch-client; for more information check this documentation
  • [bulk] - { Object } - aside from general Elasticsearch configuration, you can use this field to pass additional parameters to bulk API
• [indexField] - { String | String[] } - field(s) to be used as an Elasticsearch index; if multiple fields are provided, values are concatenated using separator; required if indexPrefix field is present; can't be used together with index
• [indexPrefix] - { String } - static string to be used as a prefix to form index together with indexField value
• [typeField] - { String | String[] } - field(s) to be used as an Elasticsearch type; if multiple fields are provided, values are concatenated using separator; can't be used together with type
• [idField] - { String | String[] } - field(s) to be used as an Elasticsearch id; if multiple fields are provided, values are concatenated using separator [defaults to document's key field(s)]
• [versionField] - { String } - field to be used as an external version for Elasticsearch document [by default no version check is performed]
• [parentField] - { String } - field to be used as a parent id [no parent by default]
• [pickFields] - { String | String[] } - by default, the whole document is sent to Elasticsearch for indexing; if this option is provided, only field(s) specified would be sent
• [separator] - { String } - separator that is used to concatenate fields [defaults to '.']
• [beforeHook] - { Function(event, context) } - function to be called before any processing is done
• [afterHook] - { Function(event, context, result, meta) } - function to be called after all the processing is done; meta object contains parsed event data, action description and document that was indexed
• [recordErrorHook] - { Function(event, context, error) } - function to be called when error occurs while processing specific record; if hook is not provided, error is thrown and processing stops
• [errorHook] - { Function(event, context, error) } - function to be called when error occurs; if hook is not provided, error is thrown
• [retryOptions] - { Object } - retry configuration in case Elasticsearch indexing fails (options description can be found here) [is not retried by default]
• [transformRecordHook] - { Function(record) } - optional function to perform custom data processing; accepts single record, must return processed object; useful for reshaping document before sending it to Elasticsearch

Note: hooks provide convenient place to add custom logic, but they don't change workflow (except error hooks where you can define if error should be thrown)

Note: context object, available in hooks, includes all the context extensions provided by lambda-handler-as-promised

Note: afterHook and errorHook support asynchronous operations when logic is wrapped into Promise

Example

const d2es = require('dynamo2es-lambda');
 
module.exports.handler = d2es({
  elasticsearch: {
    hosts: 'your-aws-es-host.amazonaws.com',
    bulk: {
      refresh: 'wait_for'
    }
  },
  indexField: ['storeId', 'customerId'],
  type: 'type',
  idField: 'orderId',
  versionField: '_version',
  separator: '-',
  beforeHook: (event, context) => context.log.info({ event }),
  afterHook: (event, context, result) => {
    context.log.info({ result });
    if (result.errors) {
      /* error handling logic */
    }
  },
  errorHook: (event, context, err) => context.log.error({ err }),
  recordErrorHook: (event, context, err) => context.log.error({ err }),
  transformRecordHook: (record) => {
    return Object.assign({}, record, {fullName: `${record.firstName} ${record.lastName}`});
  }
});

Result Object

dynamo2es-lambda returns raw result provided by the bulk API:

"took": 123,
"errors": false,
"items": [
  {
    "index": {
      "_index": "08c312d0-9bd0-4a43-9748-9469f78e3ea0",
      "_type": "type",
      "_id": "f2f8cef2-031d-401f-a0c5-d6ce50a0bef3",
      "_version": 0,
      "result": "created",
      "_shards": {
          "total": 2,
          "successful": 2,
          "failed": 0
      },
      "created": true,
      "status": 201
    }
  }
]

Note: errors property is set to true only in case of critical errors (e.g. version conflict), but not for non-critical ones (e.g. not found).
