Hi Team,

I am searching for documentation for "'Hadoop' as repository for Elasticsearch".  
I am searching in preface page, i.e.,

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#\_mapping](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#_mapping)

here i got the link for " repository-hdfs"

> **[elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/master/repository-hdfs)**
>
> elasticsearch-hadoop - :elephant: Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop

but this showing message like documentation was removed.

where can i get the documentation for making "Hadoop as Repository" for my Elasticsearch cluster.

cheers!  
sahitya

If you follow the github link that will take you to the actual docs, namely here:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/repository-hdfs.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/repository-hdfs.html)

Hello Sathitya,

If you got some trouble about finding the right version on an avalaible website, you should visit : lasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/ and pick the right elastic-repository-hdfs plugin version.

You should download the hadoop2.zip if you don't have Hadoop 2.X install on your machine.

You download the file zip then you can use the follow command :  
/path/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install file:///path\_where\_you\_put\_the\_zip\_file.

I hope it will help you.  
Tom.

Hi,  
Thanks for the information.  
I need some information on configure hdfs repository with kerebos which i am not able to do.  
i read from the posts that its still in progress as :  
Kerberos authentication for the HDFS Repository Snapshot plugin does not function correctly in 5.x at the moment. There is currently an effort to re-add this functionality so that it may function well with the internal security manager.  
Can you please help me when can i get this functionality added or any other method for using this plugin.

Divya
