Can we add plugin to a TransportClient?

Heya,

I'm playing with the nice elasticsearch-suggest-plugin
(https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin) from Alexander
Reelsen.

When adding the plugin to my ES Node, everything is perfect. I can easily curl
the suggester plugin.

But, in Java, I connect to my node using a TransportClient.
Sending a SuggestRequest in Java to the node through the transport client failed
with a NullPointerException at InternalTransportClient line 100.

java.lang.NullPointerException

org.elasticsearch.client.transport.support.InternalTransportClient$2.doWithNode(InternalTransportClient.java:100)

In debug mode, I can see that the problem is that the action "suggest" is not
registered in the list of available actions for the transport client.

So, my questions are :

  • Can I do something on my side (settings) or Is it impossible for a plugin to
    be used outside a regular client (given by a node) ?
  • If I can register the plugin to add this suggest feature, how can I do it ?
  • Is it possible to add it after the creation of the Transport Client ?
  • Would it be nice that the Transport Client autodiscover some plugins like the
    Node does ? -> If so, I will raise a feature request.

Thanks for your advice
