Suggester plug-in

I'm using play framework and i've already intalled it and downloaded
the suggester plug in from https://github.com/codere/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin

put i don't know how to install it, i know it is supposed to be an
easy task but i'm a newbie in play and elasticsearch.

IMO, if you have install the plugin (command like bin/plugin -install ...), you just need to start Elasticsearch and see in logs if the plugin is discovered by ES.

Is it what you are meaning by "how to install it" ?

I am assuming in the following you are using playframework 1.2.x and
Felipes elasticsearch module. This also means, you are using
elasticsearch 0.18.x

After running play deps to install the elasticsearch module download
the corresponding elasticsearch-suggest plugin from
https://github.com/downloads/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin/elasticsearch-suggest-0.0.3-0.18.6.zip

The unzip the contents of the zip file into the lib/ directory of your
play application (three jars, one plugin jar and two lucene
libraries.)

Start your play application, go to http://localhost:9000 and check the
output of your play application, it should show something like this:

09:15:18,559 INFO ~ Listening for HTTP on port 9000 (Waiting a first
request to start) ...
09:15:26,230 INFO ~ Starting Elastic Search for Play! in Local Mode
09:15:26,305 INFO ~ [Living Tribunal] {0.18.5}[54831]:
initializing ...
09:15:26,314 INFO ~ [Living Tribunal] loaded [suggest], sites

At the last line you can see, that the suggest plugin has loaded
successfully inside your play application and you can use it like in
any standalone application.

Hope this helps...

I know I'm sending a lot of emails but i'm a beginner. here is what i
reached i solved the error but still i can't find the suggester jar files
in my project explorer. I'm not sure where shall i unzip it (in the lib/
directory of play framework itself or in the lib/ directory of the
application i'm creating or in that of the Elasticsearch?)

second to use it do i have to add anything in the dependencies.yml or in
the application.config files or a class path or so?

I apologize again for sending many emails but i've been stuck for 2 days
trying to install this plugin.

Are you trying to use the plugin? or change the plugin?

What happened when you tried the instructions on the home page of the
suggest plugin?

I followed those, and it worked for me

i'm trying to use the plug in but i'm not able to understand how to do it,
i tried to follow the instructions

By running the above command, you have installed the plugin.

Then you restart elasticsearch, and you should see in the log file (look
in logs/) a line saying that it has loaded the suggest plugin.

Then it is ready to use.

If you're still having problems with it, please provide more
information.

5-ran play eclipsify and then ran the application
6- refreshed the http://localhost:9000/http://localhost:9000/search/index
7- got this error

i've been working on it and trying to follow the steps mentioned here
GitHub - spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin: Plugin for elasticsearch which uses the lucene FSTSuggester --> at the long
version of installation
and at this step
Add a suggest and a lowercase analyzer to your
elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml config file
i didn't find elasticsearch.yml config file in
play1.2.4/modules/elasticsearch-0.4

but the steps here in the link are for elasticsearch 0.19.2 but for play
framework only possible version is 0.4. is there anyway to solve this
problem?

Hi

clearly you did not run "play deps" when you got the
ClassNotFoundError

Please take yourself the time and understand the differences between
the play framework elasticsearch module and the elasticsearch itself
(and its versions).

You can connect to an external elasticsearch instance using the play
framework elasticsearch module (check the documentation at
http://www.playframework.org/modules/elasticsearch-0.4/home) - you
should do that instead of mixing two technologies, as this keeps
things simpler, especially as I do not know if it is possible to
specifiy an external configuration file using the elasticsearch play
framework module.
