Hey,

I have Elasticsearch installed and the hadoop gateway successfully  
configured. Now am looking to create index on the data that is existing on  
hdfs and search the same from ES.  
I also installed elasticsearch-head plugin, so I have the front end now to  
create and search data.

could anyone help me in listing out the steps to be followed.

Thanks,  
Sooraj
