# ElasticSearch Vector Store

The ElasticSearchVector class provides vector search using [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) with its `dense_vector` field type and k-NN search capabilities.
It's part of the `@mastra/elasticsearch` package.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @mastra/elasticsearch@beta
```

## Usage

```typescript
import { ElasticSearchVector } from "@mastra/elasticsearch";

const store = new ElasticSearchVector({
  id: "elasticsearch-vector",
  url: process.env.ELASTICSEARCH_URL,
});

// Create an index
await store.createIndex({
  indexName: "my-collection",
  dimension: 1536,
});

// Add vectors with metadata
const vectors = [[0.1, 0.2, ...], [0.3, 0.4, ...]];
const metadata = [
  { text: "first document", category: "A" },
  { text: "second document", category: "B" }
];
await store.upsert({
  indexName: "my-collection",
  vectors,
  metadata,
});

// Query similar vectors
const results = await store.query({
  indexName: "my-collection",
  queryVector: [0.1, 0.2, ...],
  topK: 10,
  filter: { category: "A" },
});
```

      type: "string",
      description: "Name of the index to search in",
    },
    {
      name: "queryVector",
      type: "number[]",
      description: "Query vector to find similar vectors for",
    },
    {
      name: "topK",
      type: "number",
      isOptional: true,
      defaultValue: "10",
