Hi,

I'm experiencing "No node available exception" when I use GClient that is  
created by wrapping a configured TransportClient.

def settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
def client = new TransportClient(settings)

client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress('localhost', 9200  
))

def gClient = new GClient(client)

gClient.index {  
index "test"  
type "type1"  
id "1"  
source {  
test = "value"  
complex {  
value1 = "value1"  
value2 = "value2"  
}  
}  
}

It works fine if I create the GClient using GNodeBuilder. But the code  
would be difficult to maintain.  
So I'm trying to wrap it inside a Grails Plugin. What I want to achive is  
to use the same GClient instance across multiple modules.

Is there any better way of doing this?

Don't forget to set the same cluster name.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.

I just set the "cluster.name" settings to "elasticsearch"

(Note: I have the elasticsearch service running on my local on port 9200  
with the cluster.name configured to "elasticsearch"):

def settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")  
.build()

But it still throws the same Exception.

Thanks,

Donny

Ok. So your cluster is using default cluster name. Adding cluster.name won't help here.  
I only pointed that because it's a really common mistake most of us are doing…

## Found it! Rereading your conf. Use 9300 and not 9200 port!
