Hi. I am trying to create a Gateway Plugin for Jdbc. Do I really need to have my plugin in the elasticsearch namespace? BR, Sten Roger Sandvik ---

No, you don't have to. I plan to work on simplifying the interface for pluggable ones. Also, blobs in database are a pain...

Also, blobs in database are a pain... I have problem to use a custom gateway type. As I understand it I need to create a Guice module and bind the gateway implementation in that module. Done this and uses the module by setting gateway.type = com.foo.JdbcGatewayModule. Using this I get an error on startup saying "Component [com.foo.JdbcGateway] does not start with prefix [org.elasticsearch]". If I put this in org.elasticsearch namespace it works perfectly. How can I get around this problem? BR, Sten Roger Sandvik ---

This error comes (I guess, since I don't have the code) from the JdbcGateway itself. If my guess is correct, you call, within its constructor, to "super(settings)". In the base class AbstractComponent, it tries to resolve the settings prefix that will be used to configure the component. If none are passed, it assumes that it should start with "org.elasticsearch". You should pass in the "super" call also the settings prefix (i.e., I guess, in your case, "com", or "com.foo"). -shay.banon On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 10:42 PM, Sten Roger Sandvik [stenrs@gmail.com](mailto:stenrs@gmail.com)wrote: > 2010/5/31 Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) > > No, you don't have to.

Another point. The gateway API are subject to change. I will be happy to help you migrate to newer versions, but I do plan to revisit the API and make it more easily pluggable, which might require changing custom gateways.

Thanks for a really fast response. Yes, right on spot. I now send the settings prefix down to the super constructor and it worked perfectly. Will probably open source (or donate) this code when it's done - if nobody beats it to me that is 🙂 BR, Sten Roger Sandvik ---

Looking forward to it. ---

Would be happy to get this is a plugin into elasticsearch, though I have been burnt with blobs and jdbc in Compass .... . One thing to note is that files stored should probably not be stored as a single blob, but broken down into chunks... .

But, when broken down into chunks (as you say) it's doable. Will be happy to donate this when it's finished and working properly. ---
