Hi all

I want to set my ES to save all data to hdfs.

I had find the project [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hdfs/](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hdfs/) and the new project [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/master/repository-hdfs](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/master/repository-hdfs)

The plugin install command in github is "bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.1.0"

I had try to change plugin to "elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.1.0-light","elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.1.0-hadoop2" , "elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.10". But every time the install failed at verify step. The output is as blow.

So I want to know, what is the plugin name I can use to install by the command "plugin isntall"?

My ES version is 2.0beta, hadoop version is 2.6.0(CDH5.4.1).

What do you mean by this. Do you want a copy of all data in HDFS as well as ES? Or do you want ES to store its data on HDFS?

Because you cannot do the second one.
