I did some research, this is my second time I try to tackle this problem and still couldn't find a proper tutorial for ES plugin writing.

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/plugin-authors.html

I found this page that shows some plugin structure and links some plugin examples, but when I try and create those java projects I get a load of errors in it and I get nowhere.
Some other pages show maven project examples but none have been clear enough, either I got errors or some steps were missing.
Does anyone know a step-by-step tutorial page for ES plugin writing? I have Java coding knowledge and a few months of ES experience in smaller environment.

  • I'm not sure if there are tutorials, but have you tried cloning the example project ? – aclowkay Apr 11 '18 at 13:37
  • What kind of plugins are you trying to write? – aclowkay Apr 11 '18 at 13:37
  • Maybe this will help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42652584/elasticsearch-5-how-to-start-writing-a-native-java-plugin ? – aclowkay Apr 11 '18 at 13:39
  • @aclokay I copied the content of the jvm-example to a project, didn't work :/ In the long run we would like to have a semantic search plugin. I know there are some, but my job will be to write one. I checked those pages but it didn't help. I can't put the pieces together. :/ – MrSimple Apr 11 '18 at 13:53
  • Why not describe the issue you are facing? – aclowkay Apr 11 '18 at 13:55
  • Okay, so I try and make a working project based on https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/6.2/plugins/jvm-example but I don't find org.elasticsearch.plugin.example to include in the project. So I can't build the project. I need a project that can be built. Or instructions on my errors. Thank you :) – MrSimple Apr 11 '18 at 14:10

  • Does it help if I upload the eclipse project in a .rar and give the link? – MrSimple Apr 11 '18 at 15:08
  • Akteernatively I can give you my worklog of how I tried to run the example project. – MrSimple Apr 11 '18 at 15:41
