How to make ES load plugin from another path than ES_HOME/plugins

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
How can i make ES load plugins from other than ES_HOME/plugins. Is there a
programmatic way of doing this. My test infrastructure does not allow me to
use Maven/yml files.

What i have tried so far.

  1. Tried to set path.plugins, plugin.types, plugins. +
    PluginsService.LOAD_PLUGIN_FROM_CLASSPATH, true, "plugins." +
    PluginsService.ES_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES_FILE_KEY,
    "file:/home/kumarsub/Downloads/elasticsearch-analysis-icu-2.4.1.jar"

I have been trying different combinations of the above and to no avail.

I am sure there must be a way, it's just that i don't know :slight_smile:

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kumar Subramanian.

Just add the plugin as a dependency to your project and you are done.

You just need to set path.plugins. You can do this via the config file or
run ES from the CLI with -Des.path.plugins=$path

Hi Mark, David,
Thanks for your response.

I tried the following

Settings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.builder()
.put("path.data", "build/private")
.put("index.store.type", "memory")
.put("index.number_of_replicas", 0)
.put("path.plugins", "/home/kumar/Downloads/"); //This path
contains the JAR file for elasticsearch-analysis-icu

NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().local(true).settings(settings).node();

But to no avail...When i tried to use icu_collation in my filter, it just
throws an exception stating "filter not found"

Custom Analyzer [ducet_sort] failed to find filter under name
[icu_collation]]

Thanks,
Kumar Subramanian.

1st the jar is not enough. There are other dependencies.
That's why I said that you should just add the library to your maven project.
Much easier in my opinion then trying to deal with paths.

That said, under /home/kumar/Downloads you should create a analysis-icu dir and put in it all JARS available within the plugin zip file.

One more thing,
I cannot add the files as dependency explicitly as my Test infrastructure
does not allow that. What i can do is to add the files to a lib directory
in my project and when building (custom build scripts by my company) i can
specify it to copy it over to a particular build directory. Then i would
like ES to load it from that directory. (That's why i asked the question)
