Hi! I have installed elasticsearch and SubversionRiver, now i need to create a river. It's something like this: curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/mysvnriver/\_meta' -d '{ "type": "svn", "svn": { "repos": "file:///myRepository", "path": "mySvnModule/trunk" } }' What is the "repos"? It's a local directory where I should checkout SVN repo from 'svn://myrepo' URL? It will be updated automatically? Sorry I'm new with elasticsearch and SubversionRiver. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
