Hello
I am trying to integrate ElsticSearch with Hive for the first time (a plain Apache Hadoop).
I am able to create an external table in Hive stored by org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler so I guess the AUX\_JAR\_PATH is properly configured.
However, when I try to load data into the table I get exceptions.
The full error stack is not that interesting, but the error says:
org.elasticsearch.hadoop.EsHadoopIllegalArgumentException(Unsupported/Unknown Elasticsearch version 2.1.1)
My Elasticsearch version is 2.1.1 and the ES-Hadoop integration jar is 2.1.2 (both are latest stable version).
What am I doing wrong ? How can I make it work ?
Thanks
Guy

Hello,
It's simply because ES-Hadoop v2.1.2 only supports ES until v1.7.x
You need to use ES-Hadoop v2.2.0-rc1.

From the project [readme](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop):
> Elasticsearch (1.x or higher (2.x highly recommended)) cluster accessible through REST.
> That's it!
> Significant effort has been invested to create a small, dependency-free,
> self-contained jar that can be downloaded and put to use without any
> dependencies. Simply make it available to your job classpath and you're
> set.
> For a certain library, see the dedicated chapter.
> ES-Hadoop 2.0.x and 2.1.x are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X only
ES-Hadoop 2.2.x and higher are compatible with Elasticsearch 1.X and 2.X

Thank you very much, I missed that point...
