Recently I have built two node cluster with ES 2.3.5 and created index and loaded data which went file.
However I have noticed String data loaded as encrypted. While searching also I am seeing data as encrypted.
while searching also string data populated as encrypted.

ES doesn't encrypt fields.
Either the data is coming in to ES like this or some sort of plugin is doing it.

Hi Warkolm,
My ES cluster has only head plugin installed so far. we are using spark to load data which was working fine with ES 1.7 cluster and same spark job with updated elasticsearch-hadoop(2.3.4) jar used to loaded data in ES 2.3.5 cluster. During spark job runtime I have been seeing following log snippet which I am not sure anyway related to issue I am having...
16/08/23 11:00:19 INFO metadata.Hive: Registering function md5hash

I have manually created an index in ES and added data through curl command. it does not encrypted data.
I am using spark job to load data using hadoop elasticsearch connector(elasticsearch-hadoop-2.3.4.jar),Not sure how data getting encrypted, any help Pl?
I had used elasticsearch-hadoop-2.1.0.jar with Elasticsearch 1.7 and see no issues.
