Hi All,

I would like to push data into elastic search using hive. I am creating an external table using "org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler". When I am trying to insert data in this table, I am getting error as below-

Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: org.elasticsearch.hadoop.EsHadoopIllegalArgumentException: Unsupported/Unknown Elasticsearch version 6.1.1  
at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.createBucketFiles(FileSinkOperator.java:564)  
at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.process(FileSinkOperator.java:663)

Could you please help me , what I am missing for the connectivity?

Hadoop and elastic search versions are-  
Hadoop Version - Hadoop 2.7.0-mapr-1707  
Elastic Search Version - 6.1.1  
Jar used to connect -elasticsearch-hadoop-6.1.1.jar

I would double check and make sure that there are no other versions of the ES-Hadoop jar on the classpath that might have snuck in. The only reason that you might be seeing this is if you are running on a version of ES-Hadoop in the 5.x line or lower.
