CS Elasticsearch CSV Export Module

Overview

The CS Elasticsearch CSV Export module is a source connector within the ADIB framework that enables the extraction of product data from ContentServ’s Elasticsearch instance. It is designed to handle large-scale exports efficiently by transforming complex, nested data structures into a flattened, tabular CSV format suitable for analysis, reporting, or data migration.

Description

This module connects directly to the Elasticsearch index used by ContentServ PIM/DAM and retrieves product information based on defined queries or index patterns. During export, the module performs necessary data transformations to flatten hierarchical or JSON-based Elasticsearch documents into a consistent CSV schema. The resulting CSV file can then be consumed by downstream systems such as:

  • Data warehouses and BI tools
  • ERP or CRM systems
  • External product catalogs or migration tools

The module is part of the ADIB → ContentServ Lightning Export use case, ensuring optimized data extraction performance for large product datasets.

Key Features

  • Connects to ContentServ Elasticsearch for high-speed data access.
  • Exports data into standard CSV format (UTF-8 encoded).
  • Supports field mapping and transformation for complex attributes.
  • Handles nested structures and multi-value fields.
  • Can be used in scheduled or on-demand export workflows.
  • Fully compatible with other ADIB Pre/Post Processing modules (e.g., FTP upload, timestamping, archiving).
