Hi, ``` I am having some second thoughts regarding the inclusion of the service ``` wrapper in elasticsearch. I have re-read several times the license for it, and even though it is free for open source projects (GPL), I dislike the fact that its not fully free and prefer not to include it in elasticsearch. Of course, end users can still use it as its GPL, just that it won't be distributed with elasticsearch. ``` Current plan is to remove it for 0.9, sorry about that... ``` -shay.banon ---

If not, what about including a 'setup' script which would: - download the service wrapper - update the config so that it plays nicely with ES - runs 'install' clint ---

How about creating another github repo with the service wrapper, that will contain it bin/service?

Is this a concern of license or a matter of principle? -N On 30 Jun 2010, at 11:12, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > Hi, > > ``` > I am having some second thoughts regarding the inclusion of the > > ``` > > service wrapper in elasticsearch.

Both, my I am very flexible when it comes to principles 😉 On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Nick Minutello [nick.minutello@gmail.com](mailto:nick.minutello@gmail.com)wrote: > Is this a concern of license or a matter of principle? > > -N > > On 30 Jun 2010, at 11:12, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > > Hi, > > > I am having some second thoughts regarding the inclusion of the service > > wrapper in elasticsearch.

At GoTime we investigated several ways to run elasticsearch, including the service wrapper, but none fit our needs. We eventually decided to use runit as a service wrapper. It's pretty simple and works well. Here is the runit script we use: #!/bin/bash exec 2\>&1 ulimit -n 32768 ES\_HOME=/usr/lib/elasticsearch . /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.in.sh exec chpst -u elasticsearch java $JAVA\_OPTS $ES\_JAVA\_OPTS - Delasticsearch -Des.path.home=$ES\_HOME -Des-foreground=yes -cp $CLASSPATH org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap On Jun 30, 3:16 am, Clinton Gormley [clin...@iannounce.co.uk](mailto:clin...@iannounce.co.uk) wrote: > Hiya > > > ``` > > I am having some second thoughts regarding the inclusion of the > > > > ``` > > > > service wrapper in elasticsearch.
