Hi

I'm install elastic search 0.16.2 on Debian Linux.I want to connect  
elastic server which is install Debian machine. previously I install  
elastic server in my machine.for creating node i used following code:

Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("index.number\_of\_shards",1)  
.build();  
Node node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder()  
.client(true).settings(settings)  
.local(true)  
.node().start();

Note: “local”meaning that local servers started within the same JVM  
will discover themselves and form a cluster.

Linux box IPAddress 192.168.1.100 where elastic server is  
install.where I mention to connect Linux box elastic search using  
java ?

Thanks

If you want to connect to a remote node / cluster, then you should not use  
"local". What it means is that a cluster will be formed from the nodes  
started within the same JVM, but thats it.

You can either start a Node client or a transport client, that will connect  
to the remote node / cluster. Explained here:
