I am trying to connect to a https ES node through my external table created in hdfs cluster. I connect to this hdfs cluster from my linux server using beeline and created the external table setting the property 'es.net.ssl.truststore.location'
tried placing the .jks keystore file in a hdfs path and used this path against this property and it throws the error "org.elasticsearch.hadoop.EsHadoopIllegalArgumentException: Expected to find keystore file at "
tried placing the file on a the local server from where i connect to the hive and set that path as 'file:///' and that fails too
i see posts about placing the jks file in classpath , can you please confirm where exactly this needs to be placed

It's hard to tell exactly what's wrong from what you describe, but you have seen this? [Security | Elasticsearch for Apache Hadoop [8.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/security.html#keystore)
Specifically:
```auto
This can be done by placing it on each node’s local file system, or by adding the keystore to the job’s classpath.
```
Do you have it accessible at the same location on each node? Or are you attempting to put it in your classpath?
