Creating pluggable REST endpoints

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

There has been some talk about plugins lately, and I was wondering
about how much can be accomplished via plugins. I decided to create a
new REST endpoint and write a brief write-up about my experiences:

Didn't take much snooping around, but it did make me wonder about
plugins and what the various modules actually do.

My example isn't much, but I was able to create a simple Maven pom
that should be a good starting point to creating an elasticsearch
plugin: https://github.com/brusic/elasticsearch-hello-world-plugin/blob/master/pom.xml

I have not done any Java development in over a year, forgot how much I
dislike Maven. :slight_smile: Was about to learn gradle, but decided to skip it
for now. Intellij just announced support for gradle in their new
beta.

Cheers,

Ivan

I also wanted to add that while my writeup is not interesting enough
for the online guide, there should be a recipe/cookbook for quick hack
such as this one. I have a few more.

Hi Ivan, this looks great!. How about putting in in the tutorial part of the
elasticsearch.org site?
