No.  
Also what kind of crawler?  
This ( [https://www.elastic.co/solutions/site-search](https://www.elastic.co/solutions/site-search) ) does web crawling.

Otherwise you might find some database crawling options with logstash, FSCrawler for local files, gopa for web crawling....

Thanks David !!

I want to replace GSA via elasticsearch ?

As per my understanding GSA has own Crawling capability so looking for similar utility in elasticsearch.

Have you seen the [Elasticsearch Site Search Service](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/site-search-service)? Does that match your requirements?
