Hi, Is there a plan to add support for some type of document level based security scheme to ElasticSearch that works out of the box? That, and some support for Google's or Apaches connector framework and we have a major enterprise search contender.... Keeo up the fantastic work!

It makes a lot of sence focusing on the core, and to let the user community supply patches to extend the functionality and mashup Elasticsearch with the other open source frameworks out there. Looking at this from an enteprise search perspective there are two really promising connector framework…

The first questions in this FAQ talks about how you deal with document level security with Apache Connectors Framework https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CONNECTORS/FAQ So as long as you use the connectors to index the documents, and make sure to filter the queries, in the right way, yo…

Mark, if I understand LCF (or ManifoldCF or whatever name it has now) correctly then it is not the search server itself what has specific security and authentication logic implemented in it. This being said I think all it takes would be implementing an output connector for Elastic Search, note t…

That makes a lot of sense! With an output connector a large number of standard sources, including http, could be indexed easily into Elastic and the whole chain from more traditional sources to index would be covered. On Nov 1, 12:06 am, Lukáš Vlček lukas.vl...@gmail.com wrote: Mark, if I un…

Hi, Regarding security, as is the case with LCF, you can implement one on top of elasticsearch by storing roles associated with a document and filter by that. Having something built into elasticsearch is exponentially harder than building something on top of it since the feature needs to be a "p…
