hi all,
I have a problem when configuring a transport client with spring-
elasticsearch,in my web application I created a node and from which it
creates a client,
using the following configuration \
\
with this configuration the node created by the application hold data, and
NOW I do not want my application store data, it just connects to a cluster
already exists,
so I want a transport client, and I changed the old configuration by : _\_, but i have this error when i start up server : normally
it is the right configuration but I do not know this error where it comes :
2013-03-19 15:08:10 1 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR
