I didn’t explain my concerns because I didn’t think I could phrase them in a kind way. “Hey mate, your liberal use of macros scares/confuses me. Care to tidy it up or document it?”. I also noticed there were recent issues in the issue tracker which weren’t attended to and so if I filed one too then it would just be another issue on the pile of ignored issues.
What I wanted was some simple-to-understand Elixir code to communicate with Elastic Search. I didn’t find it after a cursory Google search, so I built my own. It was only later I discovered a similar project: GitHub - werbitzky/elastix: A simple Elasticsearch REST client written in Elixir. · GitHub
Since I’ve got my own version running in production now and don’t have any real reason to switch to elastix, I’m going to continue using/maintaining my own.
Maybe one day down the line the maintainer of elastix and I will agree that it makes sense that only one implementation like this exists and merge the ideas from our two projects into one, but for now it’s fine that they exist as two separate entities.
