https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-3103 mentions issues with the ElasticsearchSink. This component uses version 0.90.0 which was released in April 2013. It is so old that it doesn’t appear on the EOL schedule at https://www.elastic.co/support/eol. I think it is safe to say this version went EOL at least 6 years ago.
I’d upgrade it but I am fearful of a few things: 1. Can anyone possibly be using this component as is? 2. Elastic changed the license in version 7. That creates problems using the “normal” elasticsearch project. Elastic has created a brand new Java client - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-java - but essentially implementing this would be like a brand new sink anyway since nothing is compatible with 0.90.0 anymore. Given how old this is would it make more sense just to remove it from the release? I do not want to spend weeks upgrading that and at this point I’m the only one committing. With so many version jumps my expectation is that the existing code is not going to upgrade very well. So before I spend any time on this I’d like some feedback. Thoughts? Ralph
