Hi

Is there any way to make data automatically redirected to elasticsearch from a MySQL database, i know that i can use elastic rivers but i heard they are deprecated...

In my case, i'm developing a web application and i wanna use MySQL as DBMS and elastic search with Spring Data as a search engine.

Well. They have been removed!

You can read this: [https://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015-05-09-advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/)

Note that you can also use Logstash and the JDBC input.
