ElasticSearch: Adding kerberos authentication using Jest Client

Question

We have to implement kerberos authentication using Jest client in our application.

Maven dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.searchbox</groupId>
        <artifactId>jest</artifactId>
        <version>${jest.version}</version>
    </dependency>

There is no proper example on their GitHub page for kerberos authentication.

Can someone guide me how to implement this?

jest is not the official client of elasticsearch and elasticsearch now offers the official client called JHLRC which seems to support the kerberos auth.

You can refer this and this related link for more info

We will have to stick with JestClient only, the documentation mentions support for kerberos but misses how to configure it. – Sumanth Hegde Jul 02 '20 at 06:18
@SumanthHedge did you find a solution for this, I too was looking for kerb with keytab for Jest Client as the cluster is still at 5.6.2 – Scorpy Mar 10 '23 at 09:58
