I am trying to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x and found out a plugin "Elasticsearch Migration Plugin v1.19" and wanted to use it. I did not find much information about installing this plugin (i do not see the plugin utility on the node in my cluster). I was wondering where could I find its source or jar file to include it in the my mvn settings( pom.xml)?

It's a site plugin, which means it does not contain any java code, so it does not exist as a maven dependency.

The plugin resides here: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-migration/tree/1.x](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-migration/tree/1.x)

Thanks for quick response. For some reason, I do not see plugin utility in my node in my cluster. I was wondering is there's any other way I could install this plugin (like programmatically)?

if you have installed a package (deb or rpm), everything should be in `/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin`, including the plugin tool
