Hi, I'm elasticsearch beginner and development log management system on my local computer's VMs.  
I trying snapshot to HDFS but repository was not created on CentOS6.6.

env : Hadoop2.5.2, ES 1.5.1, OpenJDK 1.7\_75

1. install and confirm repository-hdfs plugin(hadoop2) on my cluster(every nodes).

2. download and copy elasticsearch-hadoop-2.0.2.jar and hadoop-client-2.5.2.jar at $ES\_HOME/lib

3. edit elasticsearch.yml

4. curl command run

5. return RemoteTransportException 'failed to create repository'

I search this exception on google but cannot solve. I need help. Thanks.

You are using an old version of elasticsearch-hadoop. Or rather, the latest Elasticsearch (1.5.2) has significant internal changes that it no longer works against 2.0.2  
Please use 2.1.Beta4 [instead](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/master/repository-hdfs)

I update my repository-hdfs plugin version to 2.1.0.Beta4-hadoop2 and it works fine. Thanks!
