Hi,
I'd like to announce a new release of the knapsack import/export plugin 2.0.0.0
It is compatible with ES 2.0
Note: the default export/import directory is no longer #ES\_HOME but `path.logs` due to the new security manager. If you want another directory to write or read archives, you must disable ES security manager by starting Elasticsearch with `./bin/elasticsearch -Dsecurity.manager.enabled=false`. If not, you will get error messages.
The import/export state is no longer kept in cluster state, but in an index with name `.knapsack`.

Best,
Jörg
