Official low-level client for elasticsearch. its goal is to provide common ground for all elasticsearch-related code in python; because of this it tries to be opinion-free and very extendable.

the client's features include:
* translating basic python data types to and from json (datetimes are not
decoded for performance reasons)
* configurable automatic discovery of cluster nodes
* persistent connections
* load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across all available
nodes
* failed connection penalization (time based - failed connections won't be
retried until a timeout is reached)
* thread safety
* pluggable architecture
