Does the AWS SDK support indexing and searching for Elasticsearch?

Question

In the AWS Elasticsearch documentation they recommend submitting Elasticsearch requests using the AWS SDK. However, I don't find any APIs related to indexing and searching in the SDK. Should indexing and searching instead be done through one of the Elasticsearch client libraries?

Answer 1

The AWS SDK will provide methods to manage the Elasticsearch service (create new domain, list domains, add tags, etc). You will need to interface with Elasticsearch either through a client library or simple HTTPS requests (POST, PUT, GET).
