# Search::Elasticsearch::Cxn::Hijk(3pm)

A Cxn implementation which uses Hijk

## NAME

Search::Elasticsearch::Cxn::Hijk - A Cxn implementation which uses Hijk

## VERSION

version 6.00

## DESCRIPTION

Provides an HTTP Cxn class based on Hijk. The Hijk backend is pure Perl and is very fast, faster even that Search::Elasticsearch::Cxn::NetCurl, but doesn't provide support for https or proxies.

This class does Search::Elasticsearch::Role::Cxn, whose documentation provides more information, and Search::Elasticsearch::Role::Is\_Sync.

## CONFIGURATION

### "connect\_timeout"

Unlike most HTTP backends, Hijk accepts a separate `"connect_timeout"` parameter, which defaults to `2` seconds but can be reduced in an environment with low network latency.

## SSL/TLS

## METHODS

### "perform\_request()"

```
    ($status,$body) = $self->perform_request({
        # required
        method      => 'GET|HEAD|POST|PUT|DELETE',
        path        => '/path/of/request',
        qs          => \%query_string_params,
        # optional
        data        => $body_as_string,
        mime_type   => 'application/json',
        timeout     => $timeout
    });
```

Sends the request to the associated Elasticsearch node and returns a `$status` code and the decoded response `$body`, or throws an error if the request failed.
