Well, no. I am on my way there, but not there yet. 
And there are so many other build methods available so I think that
expecting all users to use a specific build tool is incorrect.

Well, that was the problem. I did not know which to use and which not to. My first tries failed, so to avoid a long trial-and-error I threw them all in. 
              This is where improvements could be done. If all that
              is needed for the NodeClient is the easticsearch jar
              and the lucene jars, then a simple doc entry for that
              would help a lot. Mayby it is there, but it eluded me
              at least.




              Another question, if using only one instance of ES on
              localhost. Are there any drawbacks of using
              TransportClient? There was this mention of a double
              hop that I wanted to avoid. But maybe I can simplify
              my client setup...

                        NodeClient and not TransportClient,
                        elasticsearch has no dependencies (the ones
                        it uses are jarjar'ed into elasticsearch,
                        like guice, jackson, and netty).

Hi, 
                                I understand the implications of
                                isolating the client stuff in its
                                own distro. But it would be quite
                                nice if it could be done
                                nevertheless.


                                I use the client in a servlet
                                container for a webapp and it gets
                                rather messy to update a webapp to
                                the lastest ES version since there
                                are quite a few supporting jars that
                                need to go in there to. Some of
                                these jars are version-colliding
                                with some of the jars I have put in
                                so I end up having to upgrade my
                                webapp stuff with new versions of
                                the supporting jars (like logging
                                etc etc). I even end up with Lucene
                                jars in my webapp and that seems
                                over the edge for a client.




                                I guees some of these "supporting"
                                jars are not really needed for the
                                client, and this complexity could be
                                reduced if there was a separate
                                client distro.


                                I use the native client, not the
                                transport one.

                                            its not planned.

Hi Shay,

Currently, the
elasticsearch
jar is ~11MB
and I don't
believe that
everything is
necessary if
using it for a
stateless
client.   If
this is true,
you would mind
creating an
stripped down
elasticsearch-client
jar?
