ElasticsearchDocumentStore is excellent if you want to evaluate the performance of different retrieval options (dense vs. sparse) and aim for a smooth transition from PoC to production.
It features the approximate nearest neighbours (ANN) search.
### Initialization
[Install](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html) Elasticsearch and then [start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/starting-elasticsearch.html) an instance. Haystack supports Elasticsearch 8.
If you have Docker set up, we recommend pulling the Docker image and running it.
```shell
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.11.1
docker run -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m" -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" elasticsearch:8.11.1
```
As an alternative, you can go to [Elasticsearch integration GitHub](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/elasticsearch) and start a Docker container running Elasticsearch using the provided `docker-compose.yml`:
```shell
docker compose up
```
Once you have a running Elasticsearch instance, install the `elasticsearch-haystack` integration:
```shell
pip install elasticsearch-haystack
```
Then, initialize an `ElasticsearchDocumentStore` object thats connected to the Elasticsearch instance and writes documents to it:
```python
from haystack_integrations.document_stores.elasticsearch import (
ElasticsearchDocumentStore,
)
from haystack import Document
document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(hosts="http://localhost:9200")
document_store.write_documents(
[Document(content="This is first"), Document(content="This is second")],
)
print(document_store.count_documents())
```
### Supported Retrievers
[`ElasticsearchBM25Retriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/elasticsearchbm25retriever.mdx): A keyword-based Retriever that fetches documents matching a query from the Document Store.
[`ElasticsearchEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/elasticsearchembeddingretriever.mdx): Compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the documents most relevant to the query.
