Hi, I'm trying to integrate an elasticsearch localnode in a project of mine. I keep getting this error: 52309 [btpool0-4] ERROR org.mortbay.log - Nested in org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.Logger.isTraceEnabled()Z: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.Logger.isTraceEnabled()Z at org.elasticsearch.common.logging.slf4j.Slf4jESLogger.isTraceEnabled(Slf4jESLogger.java:42) at org.elasticsearch.common.logging.support.AbstractESLogger.trace(AbstractESLogger.java:48) at org.elasticsearch.monitor.MonitorModule.configure(MonitorModule.java:86) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.AbstractModule.configure(AbstractModule.java:59) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.spi.Elements$RecordingBinder.install(Elements.java:210) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.spi.Elements.getElements(Elements.java:91) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorShell$Builder.build(InjectorShell.java:142) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorBuilder.build(InjectorBuilder.java:103) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Guice.createInjector(Guice.java:93) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Guice.createInjector(Guice.java:70) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.ModulesBuilder.createInjector(ModulesBuilder.java:58) at org.elasticsearch.node.internal.InternalNode.(InternalNode.java:147) at org.elasticsearch.node.NodeBuilder.build(NodeBuilder.java:159) at se.zvingon.data.elastic.ElasticDataStore.initLocalNode(ElasticDataStore.java:57) It seems to me that I'm missing the correct version of Log4J?

Seems like you have slf4j in the classpath, so elasticsearch will use that one by default, and it seems like its missing a method on slf4j, I am guessing because of an old version of slf4j?

Donno regarding the slf4j version, you need to check. If you want to force elasticsearch to use log4j, you can do: ESLoggerFactory.setDefaultFactory(new Log4jESLoggerFactory()); before you do anything with elasticsearch (in a static init block for example).

I can't tell you that your version of SLF4J is too old, but we use 1.6.1 just fine. ---

There are a number of other problems also: 1. Your SLF4J Simple logger should match the version number of SLF4J. 2. In order to use Log4J with SLF4J, you need the slf4j-log4j12 bridge. 3. You wouldn't use simple logger _and_ log4j typically. They are both the parts of the infrastructure that actually write the messges. -- jim ---
