I'm still learning how to use ElasticSearch, and I'm pretty new to distributed computing in general, so this might be silly, but when I run: bin/plugin -install hadoop I get the message: -\> Installing hadoop for an inordinate amount of time, and hadoop never installs. In the online documentation, it says, as an alternate method, that you can simply download the plugin and put it in the plugins folder. However, despite my efforts google searching, I have not been able to find anywhere to download the plugin (although we did find a repository on github, but didn't know what to do with it) as a standalone. Now, as I originally said, I'm very new to ElasticSearch, so I might have completely missed something. What should I do to get a hadoop gateway set up for my ElasticSearch cluster? Thanks for your time ---

Elasticsearch and its plugins are available in maven repo. [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/#Maven\_Repository](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/#Maven_Repository) Hadoop plugin in particular can be found here: [http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/) [http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/) Rgds, Lukas On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 9:58 PM, elastic searcher \<[elasticsearcher@gmail.com](mailto:elasticsearcher@gmail.com) > wrote: > I'm still learning how to use Elasticsearch, and I'm pretty new to > distributed computing in general, so this might be silly, but when I > run: > > bin/plugin -install hadoop > > I get the message: > > -\> Installing hadoop > > for an inordinate amount of time, and hadoop never installs. > > In the online documentation, it says, as an alternate method, that you > can simply download the plugin and put it in the plugins folder. > However, despite my efforts google searching, I have not been able to > find anywhere to download the plugin (although we did find a > repository on github, but didn't know what to do with it) as a > standalone. > > Now, as I originally said, I'm very new to Elasticsearch, so I might > have completely missed something. > > What should I do to get a hadoop gateway set up for my Elasticsearch > cluster? > > Thanks for your time ---

The plugins, in the zip format (where you just need to place the zip file under the `plugins` directory), are located here: [http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/](http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/). The plugin script simply downloads them from the above url into the plugins directory. -shay.banon On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 11:18 PM, Lukáš Vlček [lukas.vlcek@gmail.com](mailto:lukas.vlcek@gmail.com) wrote: > Elasticsearch and its plugins are available in maven repo. > [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/#Maven\_Repository](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/#Maven_Repository) > > Hadoop plugin in particular can be found here: > > [http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/) > > [http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/](http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-hadoop/) > Rgds, > Lukas > > On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 9:58 PM, elastic searcher \< > [elasticsearcher@gmail.com](mailto:elasticsearcher@gmail.com)\> wrote: > > > I'm still learning how to use Elasticsearch, and I'm pretty new to > > distributed computing in general, so this might be silly, but when I > > run: > > > > bin/plugin -install hadoop > > > > I get the message: > > > > -\> Installing hadoop > > > > for an inordinate amount of time, and hadoop never installs. > > > > In the online documentation, it says, as an alternate method, that you > > can simply download the plugin and put it in the plugins folder. > > However, despite my efforts google searching, I have not been able to > > find anywhere to download the plugin (although we did find a > > repository on github, but didn't know what to do with it) as a > > standalone. > > > > Now, as I originally said, I'm very new to Elasticsearch, so I might > > have completely missed something. > > > > What should I do to get a hadoop gateway set up for my Elasticsearch > > cluster? > > > > Thanks for your time ---
