Why does the TransportClient depend on Lucene core?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

while trying to use the TransportClient to connect to a remote
elasticsearch cluster in a project that already contains Lucene libraries
it fails to create a client connection with the following error.

[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] Jun 27, 2014 12:43:53 PM org.apache.catalina.
core.StandardContext loadOnStartup
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] SEVERE: Servlet /app threw load() exception
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at org.elasticsearch.Version.(Version.
java:119)
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.
TransportClient.(TransportClient.java:169)
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.
TransportClient.(TransportClient.java:125)

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: LUCENE_41

I guess this has to do with the assignment of

Version version = Version.CURRENT;

Is there a particular reason why the transport client depends on the Lucene
core library which contains the versions?

Is there a way I can work around this besides not having the old lucene
libraries in my classpath?

Kind regards,

Jeroen

The TransportClient is part of the full elasticsearch distribution.
We don't have another official client for that.

If you really need to have another Lucene version in your class path, I'm afraid you need to use HTTP REST Layer and not Transport layer.

May be you should look at JEST in that case? http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/community/current/clients.html#community-java

Thank you David. I wanted to try to stay as close to the elasticsearch
stack as possible. I've found a different (less nice) way of achieve the
same end result.

Are there any plans to release a client only Maven artifact?
It is very strange for a client application to include the entire
Elasticsearch server.

I'd like to release such a TransportClient, as part of a modularization of
the 1.2.1 (probably 1.3) codebase. But there is no ETA.

I plan to release three flavors of a modularized TransportClient, an ingest
client that can only write documents to a cluster (depending on Jackson
JSON and Google Guava), a search client that can submit queries (this will
require at least the Lucene query builder classes) and an admin client that
can also execute control commands.
