After reviewing the Ansible role for Elasticsearch, I don't see a built-in way of pointing the download of Elasticsearch and supporting plugins to a local directory. Am I missing something or does it not have the capability to be used in an offline environment? I figured I could modify the yum repo to point to a local one, but as for the plugins, I'm unsure. I have installed the plugins manually in the past, but trying to automate this.
