Hi guys,

I would like to create an ElasticSearch Output Connector for Apache  
ManifoldCF, here my proposal in the official mailing list of the  
project:

[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod\_mbox/incubator-connectors-dev/201111.mbox/\<CAEO2op8wwS=tAwmbs2ASGDKeuxLkgtkmMBaT5Gq+-pV6G9Op\_g@mail.gmail.com\>](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-connectors-dev/201111.mbox/%3CCAEO2op8wwS=tAwmbs2ASGDKeuxLkgtkmMBaT5Gq+-pV6G9Op_g@mail.gmail.com%3E)

Is it possible to use the Attachment plugin feature directly from the  
Java client?  
I would prefer to use an unique Java client to execute all the needed  
operations and binaries ingestion on ElasticSearch.  
This because in this way I can implement a clean pure Java connector  
without using any other HTTP client connectors.

Let me know if someone can support me to achieve this goal.  
Thank you for your support.

Regards,  
Piergiorgio

Here's a direct link: [http://search-lucene.com/m/Zwl7613RFMz1](http://search-lucene.com/m/Zwl7613RFMz1)

The idea is to be able to suck content out of ES and index it with  
Solr, say for migration purposes?

No, the idea behind ManifoldCF is to get content from repositories and  
put contents into search servers such as Apache Solr, MetaCarta,  
OpenSearchServer (and Elasticsearch? 🙂 ).  
In this way with ManifoldCF you can schedule jobs to create indexes  
for your contents.

For each job you can set the source repository (a Repository  
Connection: CMIS, Documentum, Sharepoint, etc..) and the target server  
(an Output Connection: Apache Solr, MetaCarta, OpenSearchServer).

I think that we could easily add an Elasticsearch Output Connector,  
this means that ManifoldCF could get contents from repositories and  
create indexes into Elasticsearch.

Here some references about ManifoldCF:  
[http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/](http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/)

And how to write an Output Connector:  
[http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/writing-output-connectors.html](http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/writing-output-connectors.html)

Let me know if someone (or you 😉 ) is interested to support me or  
implement by yourself this contribution.  
Thank you again.

Cheers,  
Piergiorgio

Hi,

I have been exploring this as well some time ago and it sounds like a good  
idea to me (and from the quick code overview it did not sound like hard  
task). Although I am not familiar with MCF I would like to help if you  
decide to tackle this.

I am interested in a es connector as well. If you need additional  
developer cycles, let me know too. I am willing to help.

Lukas, Michael,

thank you very much for your interest in the development of this task  
for Apache ManifoldCF.

I'm finishing the implementation of the Alfresco Connector for  
(Alfresco 1.x, 2.x, 3.x and 4.x) and then I would like to start  
working on the Elasticsearch Output Connector.  
I think that your support will be appreciated and necessary to  
consolidate all.

I'll let you know soon, about how we can start this contribution  
together, or if one of you (or both ? 🙂 ) are confident to release an  
initial contribution it could be a great start point to collaborate  
with the community of Apache ManifoldCF 😉

Thank you so much for your availability.

Regards,  
Piergiorgio

Hi guys,

a first iteration of the development of the Elasticsearch plugin was  
finished and now it is included in the latest version of Apache ManifolfCF.

I wrote a post on my website about the latest changes:

> **[Apache ManifoldCF 0.5-incubating released — Open4Dev](https://www.open4dev.com/journal/2012/4/23/apache-manifoldcf-05-incubating-released.html)**
>
> We are proud to announce that the latest version of Apache ManifoldCF is released. Apache Community and Apache Incubator signed off on the 0.5-incubating release .

From this post you can visit some references of the project.

The source code of the Elasticsearch connector is available at this address:  
[https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lcf/trunk/connectors/elasticsearch/](https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lcf/trunk/connectors/elasticsearch/)

If you have some tips or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me  
for any type of contributions or ideas.

Thank you again.

Cheers,  
Piergiorgio
