My problem is similar to [1] I have a spring boot appplication where I save some document in elasticsearch. The index is created in a data dir in the current directory each time. I want to change this default path to a given one. How can I do that? A such a simple task takes hours to find it out.

I tried many things:

  1. @Setting(setting="/data/elasticsearch")
  2. In an elasticseacrh.properties and application.properties file:
    1. path.data
    2. spring.data.elasticsearch.path.data

Without any luck.

  1. Adding the path with the configuration file in my application class:

    @Setting(settingPath = "/home/topic/src/main/resources/elasticsearch.properties")

  2. Set the path.data property in the file:

    path.data=/Users/mimis/Desktop/data

Did the trick.

Update:
With Spring Boot 1.3.0 we can add any Elasticsearch property in the application properties files by using the spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.* prefix. For example:

spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.data.path=/path/to/data

    Using Spring Boot 1.3.0, and "spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.data.path" or "spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.data" is not working... is this really supported? Haven't found decent answer on the subject. – Juan Jimenez Nov 27 '15 at 20:36

    currently i use spring boot 2.6. In my applications/properties files located in the resource folder i have the setting spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.data and it works – ArisRe82 Dec 12 '15 at 13:39
  • yaml configuration didnt work for me but the .properties file configurations works. – Danish Shrestha Aug 23 '16 at 01:37

For me (Grails / Spring Boot 1.3.3) the following configuration works better:

spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.data=/path/to/data
spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.logs=/path/to/logs

I just ran into this issue and none of the answers provided solved it , the accept answer got the wrong property which is 

 spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.data=/path/to/data

not 

 spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.data.path=/path/to/data

Though with this value you will have a problem because you are writing into the root of your machine ( a mac in my case) which needs an access rights which I cannot provide so the elasticsearch template will fail to start, instead you need to set the value to 

spring.data.elasticsearch.properties.path.data=path/to/data

This will create the path from the context of your application which is the root directory of your project which the application already has rights to write to it
