Hi All, Is it possible to run elasticsearch in memory (mock) like hsqldb for testing purpose?. I want to test elasticsearch but I don't want launch a local instance.

Elasticsearch's integration tests run in the same JVM as the tests so you might want to look at that. They do save data to disk but in the target directory. I'd suggest having each test try deleting an index before it creates one just to make sure to get a truely fresh copy. Remember to wait for green or yellow status after creating the index or it might not be ready for testing.

So elasticsearch itself doesn't do that. It run starts elasticsearch in the vm doing the testing. If you are java then you can do that.
