Is there any documentation on writing new transports for ES on the master branch? I see there's a Websockets transport for 0.20. I want to port it to 1.0. -Cris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I will start working on migrating my (incomplete) websocket transport plugin to Netty 4.0.0 (currently at 4.0.0.CR6) and ES 0.90+ (I hope that ES 1.0 will come soon) Sereval ugly hacks are required, the best method I found out is to use an additional Netty dependency and not the ES one - I wish it could be easier because different Netty versions may not interact well. There is not much documentation. I started with the Netty websocket examples, then I experimented with a tiny HTTP ES plugin to learn more about what ES REST API can do according to streaming responses, and finally plugged the Netty implementation of websockets into plugin code.

Yes, I've been digging into the source for netty dependencies in elasticsearch. It looks like the HTTP module in ES is a module much like you'd load via a plugin (with lifecycle callbacks, actions, etc). If you're willing to work on the plugin front, I'll work on the porting front 🙂 -Cris On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 4:28 PM, Jörg Prante [joergprante@gmail.com](mailto:joergprante@gmail.com) wrote: > I will start working on migrating my (incomplete) websocket transport > plugin to Netty 4.0.0 (currently at 4.0.0.CR6) and ES 0.90+ (I hope that ES > 1.0 will come soon) > > Sereval ugly hacks are required, the best method I found out is to use an > additional Netty dependency and not the ES one - I wish it could be easier > because different Netty versions may not interact well.
