+Chewy is an ODM (Object Document Mapper), built on top of [the official Elasticsearch client](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby).
 
 ## Why Chewy?
 
 In this section we'll cover why you might want to use Chewy instead of the official `elasticsearch-ruby` client gem.
 
-* Multi-model indices.
-
-  Index classes are independent from ORM/ODM models. Now, implementing e.g. cross-model autocomplete is much easier. You can just define the index and work with it in an object-oriented style. You can define several types for index - one per indexed model.
-
 * Every index is observable by all the related models.
 
   Most of the indexed models are related to other and sometimes it is necessary to denormalize this related data and put at the same object. For example, you need to index an array of tags together with an article. Chewy allows you to specify an updateable index for every model separately - so corresponding articles will be reindexed on any tag update.

   Chewy has an ActiveRecord-style query DSL. It is chainable, mergeable and lazy, so you can produce queries in the most efficient way. It also has object-oriented query and filter builders.

+**Important:** Chewy doesn't follow SemVer, so you should always
+check the release notes before upgrading. The major version is linked to the
+newest supported Elasticsearch and the minor version bumps may include breaking changes.
+
+See our [migration guide](migration_guide.md) for detailed upgrade instructions between
+various Chewy versions.
+
+### Active Record
+
+5.2, 6.0, 6.1 Active Record versions are supported by all Chewy versions.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Chewy provides functionality for Elasticsearch index handling, documents import mappings, index update strategies and chainable query DSL.
+
+### Minimal client setting
+
+Create `config/initializers/chewy.rb` with this line:
+
+```ruby
+Chewy.settings = {host: 'localhost:9250'}
+```
+
+And run `rails g chewy:install` to generate `chewy.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+# config/chewy.yml
+# separate environment configs
+test:
+  host: 'localhost:9250'
+  prefix: 'test'
+development:
+  host: 'localhost:9200'
+```
+
 ### Elasticsearch
 
-Chewy 5 is compatible with Elasticsearch 5.
+Make sure you have Elasticsearch up and running. You can [install](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html) it locally, but the easiest way is to use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started):
 
-Chewy 6 is compatible with Elasticsearch 6. See [Migration guide](migration_guide.md).
+```shell
+$ docker run --rm --name elasticsearch -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" elasticsearch:7.11.1
+```
 
-Future versions of Chewy will support Elasticsearch 7.
+### Index
 
-## Usage
+Create `app/chewy/users_index.rb` with User Index:
 
-### Client settings
+```ruby
+class UsersIndex < Chewy::Index
+  settings analysis: {
+    analyzer: {
+      email: {
+        tokenizer: 'keyword',
+        filter: ['lowercase']
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+  index_scope User
+  field :first_name
+  field :last_name
+  field :email, analyzer: 'email'
+end
+```
 
-There are two ways to configure the Chewy client:
+### Model
 
-* via the hash `Chewy.settings`
-* via the configuration file `chewy.yml`
+Add User model, table and migrate it:
 
-You can create `chewy.yml` manually or run `rails g chewy:install` to
-generate it.
+```shell
+$ bundle exec rails g model User first_name last_name email
+$ bundle exec rails db:migrate
+```
+
+Add `update_index` to app/models/user.rb:
+
+```ruby
+class User < ApplicationRecord
+  update_index('users') { self }
+end
+```
+
+### Example of data request
+
+1. Once a record is created (could be done via the Rails console), it creates User index too:
+
+```
+User.create(
+  first_name: "test1",
+  last_name: "test1",
+  email: 'test1@example.com',
+  # other fields
+)
+# UsersIndex Import (355.3ms) {:index=>1}
+# => #<User id: 1, first_name: "test1", last_name: "test1", email: "test1@example.com", # other fields>
+```
+
+2. A query could be exposed at a given `UsersController`:
+
+```ruby
+def search
+  @users = UsersIndex.query(query_string: { fields: [:first_name, :last_name, :email, ...], query: search_params[:query], default_operator: 'and' })
+  render json: @users.to_json, status: :ok
+end
+
+private
+
+def search_params
+  params.permit(:query, :page, :per)
+end
+```
+
+3. So a request against `http://localhost:3000/users/search?query=test1@example.com` issuing a response like:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "attributes":{
+      "id":"1",
+      "first_name":"test1",
+      "last_name":"test1",
+      "email":"test1@example.com",
+      ...
+      "_score":0.9808291,
+      "_explanation":null
+    },
+    "_data":{
+      "_index":"users",
+      "_type":"_doc",
+      "_id":"1",
+      "_score":0.9808291,
+      "_source":{
+        "first_name":"test1",
+        "last_name":"test1",
+        "email":"test1@example.com",
+        ...
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+## Usage and configuration
+
+### Client settings
+
+To configure the Chewy client you need to add `chewy.rb` file with `Chewy.settings` hash:
 
 ```ruby
 # config/initializers/chewy.rb
 Chewy.settings = {host: 'localhost:9250'} # do not use environments
 ```
 
+And add `chewy.yml` configuration file.

Fortunately, Chewy internally uses [delete-by-query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/docs-delete-by-query.html#docs-delete-by-query-task-api) ES function which supports async execution with batching and [throttling](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html#docs-delete-by-query-throttle).
+
+The available options, which can be set by ENV variables, are listed below:
+* `WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION` - a boolean flag. It controls async execution. It waits by default. When set to `false` (`0`, `f`, `false` or `off` in any case spelling is accepted as `false`), Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task reference you can use to cancel the task or get its status.
+* `REQUESTS_PER_SECOND` - float. The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second. No throttling is enforced by default.
+* `SCROLL_SIZE` - integer. The number of documents to be deleted in single sub-request. The default batch size is 1000.
+
+```bash
+rake chewy:journal:clean WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION=false REQUESTS_PER_SECOND=10 SCROLL_SIZE=5000
+```

 ### DatabaseCleaner
 
 If you use `DatabaseCleaner` in your tests with [the `transaction` strategy](https://github.com/DatabaseCleaner/database_cleaner#how-to-use), you may run into the problem that `ActiveRecord`'s models are not indexed automatically on save despite the fact that you set the callbacks to do this with the `update_index` method. The issue arises because `chewy` indices data on `after_commit` run as default, but all `after_commit` callbacks are not run with the `DatabaseCleaner`'s' `transaction` strategy. You can solve this issue by changing the `Chewy.use_after_commit_callbacks` option. Just add the following initializer in your Rails application:

+### Pre-request Filter
+
+Should you need to inspect the query prior to it being dispatched to ElasticSearch during any queries, you can use the `before_es_request_filter`. `before_es_request_filter` is a callable object, as demonstrated below:
+
+```ruby
+Chewy.before_es_request_filter = -> (method_name, args, kw_args) { ... }
+```
+
+While using the `before_es_request_filter`, please consider the following:
+
+* `before_es_request_filter` acts as a simple proxy before any request made via the    `ElasticSearch::Client`. The arguments passed to this filter include:
+  * `method_name` -  The name of the method being called. Examples are search, count, bulk and etc.
+  * `args` and `kw_args` - These are the positional arguments provided in the method call.
+* The operation is synchronous, so avoid executing any heavy or time-consuming operations within the filter to prevent performance degradation.
+* The return value of the proc is disregarded. This filter is intended for inspection or modification of the query rather than generating a response.
+* Any exception raised inside the callback will propagate upward and halt the execution of the query. It is essential to handle potential errors adequately to ensure the stability of your search functionality.
+
+### Import scope clean-up behavior
+
+Whenever you set the `import_scope` for the index, in the case of ActiveRecord,
+options for order, offset and limit will be removed. You can set the behavior of
+chewy, before the clean-up itself.
+
+The default behavior is a warning sent to the Chewy logger (`:warn`). Another more
+restrictive option is raising an exception (`:raise`). Both options have a
+negative impact on performance since verifying whether the code uses any of
+these options requires building AREL query.
+
+To avoid the loading time impact, you can ignore the check (`:ignore`) before
+the clean-up.
+
+```
+Chewy.import_scope_cleanup_behavior = :ignore
+```
