Could not load plugin descriptor for existing plugin [repository-hdfs]. Was the plugin built before 2.0?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,
I installed the repository-hdfs plugin but I have an error when I run Elasticsearch. This is the error:

./elasticsearch

Refer to the log for complete error details.

I do not understand why it is happening.
Can anybody help me, please?

I think you installed a wrong version.

How did you install your plugin?

3

I use this command to install my plugin:

bin/plugin install file:///home/weblogic/elasticsearch-2.4.0/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs-2.4.0-hadoop2.zip

I downloaded my plugin then I installed with "bin/plugin install"
I installed elasticsearch 2.4.0. How can I see more plugin version of repository-hdfs?

Where did you download this file from?

I downloaded it from here:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.4.0/

Strange. This file ( https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.4.0/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs-2.4.0-hadoop2.zip ) has the plugin-descriptor.properties file in it.

I think you are doing something bad on your side but can't really tell with the details you provided so far.

Can you reproduce the error you have seen with:

  • a fresh clean install of elasticsearch 2.4.0
  • the zip file I linked here downloaded to /tmp
  • bin/plugin install file:///tmp/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs-2.4.0-hadoop2.zip executed with no failure
  • bin/elasticsearch

And report again?

BTW why are you downloading manually the ZIP file?

Finally,
I install Elasticsearch 2.3.1 with this hdfs:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.4.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs-2.4.0.BUILD-20160418.041409-10-hadoop2.zip

And it worked perfectly.
THANKS!!!
