Question

I tried to execute the below python code

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch()
es.indices.create(index='my-index', ignore=400)

The last statement through the below connection error.

ConnectionError: ConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 
0x0000020DC5EEF6D8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No 
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it) caused 
by: NewConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at

i have historical user descriptions of the issue and its resolution. I want to provide the resolution recommendation when a new issue comes in . For that when ever i get the new issue description, i want to do the elasticsearch on the historical issue descriptions and provide the quick resolution for the current issue. — Raju

It seems you have installed the only elasticsearch client library without installing the actual Elasticsearch in the computer. Thus first install Elasticsearch as follows. Download and Install

After you have downloaded a zip file(if you are using windows), into something like c:\elasticsearch-7.5.2

Go to a path like C:\elasticsearch-7.5.2\bin and run elasticsearch.bat

Then go to your browser and run http://localhost:9200/, You should get a response like That means your elastic instance is running, so you can proceed with

es.indices.create(index='my-index', ignore=400)

In case you want a customization of the instance you can read out the tutorial Here
