``` I'm simply trying to run ElasticSearch on my local machine, using ``` Azure blob storage as a backing store. ``` I've downloaded ES 0.15.0, and unzipped it into a directory. I then changed the config file like so: ``` cluster: name: OneFrameLink cloud: account: key: blobstore: type: Azureblob gateway: type: cloud cloud: container: data ``` I've populated account with the name of the storage account in ``` Azure, and the key with the primary secret key. I've connected to the account through CloudXplorer and verified that the account does exist, and created the empty container "data". ``` The thing is, when I run elasticsearch.bat from the command line, I ``` get the following: [2011-03-01 09:49:38,162][INFO][node] [Barbarus] {elasticsearch/0.15.0}[9144]: initializing ...

Ok, so I then run: ``` plugin.bat -install cloud ``` But that gives me: ``` -\> Installing cloud Downloading plugin from [http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/cloud/elasticsearch-cloud-0](http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/cloud/elasticsearch-cloud-0). 15.0.zip Failed to install cloud, reason: Can't get [http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/cloud/elasticsearch-cloud-0](http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/cloud/elasticsearch-cloud-0). 15.0.zip to C:\Users\\Desktop\elasticsearch-0.15.0\plugins\cloud.zip ``` Doing a Google search on "elasticsearch cloud plugin", I notice this ``` entry: [http://code.google.com/p/elasticsearch/source/browse/plugins/cloud-aws/elast](http://code.google.com/p/elasticsearch/source/browse/plugins/cloud-aws/elast) icsearch-cloud-aws-0.13.1.zip?spec=svn20&r=20 ``` Which seems to be an AWS-specific version of the cloud.

Shay, ``` I’m slightly confused. In a thread from May 2010 (http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Just-Pushed-Cloud-Plugin-Using-the-cloud-for-gateway-storage-and-for-auto-discovery-td784890.html) you state in the second paragraph: ``` The first support is allowing to use the cloud as a gateway storage. This means that Amazon S3, Rackspace CloudFiles, or Azure Blob can be used to store both the cluster meta data and each index information (index files and transaction logs). ``` You specifically mention S3, Rackspace, and Azure Blob. Or was it meant as there is potential for support for Azure? If that’s the case, how can one best make a suggestion to implement support? There are a number of people who are deploying Java applications/servers on Azure (MS is putting out support for Tomcat in Azure, and there are a number of demos of running Jetty as well) and I’d like to be able to let .NET developers expose ES through Azure as well. Quite frankly, it’s because the support for search is so bad in the .NET space (yes, Lucene.NET, and I’ve worked with that, but I really need something like ES at this point) that I’m more than happy to interop and in this case, ES gives me everything I need and so much more. - Nick ``` From: Shay Banon [[mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 1:48 PM To: [users@elasticsearch.com](mailto:users@elasticsearch.com) Subject: Re: Cloud plugin for 0.15.0 (using Azure blob storage) There ins't support for Azure blob store, only for AWS at the moment.

There use to be a generic cloud plugin that used jclouds to work with any cloud provider that jclouds supports. It has been removed because jclouds was not mature enough at the time, and replaced with the cloud-aws plugin that includes the formal AWS sdk. jclouds has progressed a lot since then, so it might make sense to give it another try and have a generic cloud plugin that uses it.

I know that once this is deployed to Azure, I will have to handle discovery, but that's not much of an issue, since the WorkerRole which will run ElasticSearch can forward a tcp port, which is what I will do for ElasticSearch (or configure discovery). Thanks in advance for any help. - Nick ---

Shay, ``` I’m not sure what you mean by local gateway? What I’m trying to do right now is a proof-of-concept; if I can get a locally running instance of ES to connect to Azure, then getting it to run in an Azure Compute instance is easy enough and I’d know for sure that I would have persistent storage for ES. I’d only have one compute instance running, so I wouldn’t need discovery of other nodes. Exposing the port in Azure is easy enough, there is a config setting where you can map the port, I’d just map the port of my choosing to the ES instance port. - Nick ``` From: Shay Banon [[mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 4:54 PM To: [users@elasticsearch.com](mailto:users@elasticsearch.com) Subject: Re: RE: RE: RE: Cloud plugin for 0.15.0 (using Azure blob storage) You can use local gateway for now, no?
