Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/834 Nick's points are spot-on, I think. I think the core abstraction issue is that we're doing ES-specific things in the indexing section. We probably want to decouple indexing from ES a bit and have a separate component for ES configuration installation. This also might not be something we want to do as part of ambari, but rather the installation of templates might should be done upon parser start time. This might bear rethinking is what I'm saying. That being said, I think I'm still more uncomfortable with a masked failure like we have it now.
