Quick and dirty node script I used for throwing queries and Elastic Search

Query Elastic Search

var client = require('http').createClient(9200, 'localhost'),
    argv = require('./node-optimist').argv;

var query = {
   "from": 0,
   "size": 5,
   "query" : {
       "match_all" : { }
   },
   "sort": {
       "date": {
           "order": "desc"
       }
   },
   "facets" : {
       "country" : {
           "terms" : { "field" : "country" }
       }
   }
}

search(query, function(response) {
    console.log(response.hits.hits);
    console.log('Facets:');
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.facets, null, 2));
    console.log(response.took + 'ms / ' + response.hits.total + ' results');
});

function search(query, callback) {
    query = JSON.stringify(query);
    var headers = {
        'Content-Length': query.length,
        'charset': 'UTF-8',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    };
    var request = client.request('GET', 'reliefweb/reports/_search', headers);
    request.write(query, 'utf8');
    request.on('response', function(response) {
        var body = '';
        response.on('data', function(data) {
            body += data;
        });
        response.on('end', function() {
            callback(JSON.parse(body));
        });
    });
    request.end();
}
