Hi Adam, not sure about 1. Generally the ES development team gives ample warning when they make backwards incompatible fixes.

You might also want to install the elasticsearch-head plugin that Arches also installs. I don't think any other plugins are needed at this moment. Anyway, in my opinion, running ES from within Arches is fine for development purposes. But for production I'd prefer to separate the two.

I have successfully installed ElasticSearch on Ubuntu outside of the arches environment so it will run as a service, and it was far easier than I was expecting... a pleasant surprise that makes me wary. To do so I began with a fresh Amazon EC2 instance, and I followed the normal arches3 installation steps. However, instead of running python manage.py packages -o setup_elasticsearch (which installs elasticsearch within the app itself) I followed these steps<http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html> from the ElasticSearch webpage to install the current APT distribution of ElasticSearch on Ubuntu. After that installation, I was able to run ES as a service, and after finishing the arches-hip installation, was able to use the database and add/search resources (it works!). I have two questions: 1. I see the current ES repo is for version 1.5 instead of 1.4 which is used by arches3. Will this cause problems later? I assume I could install 1.4 instead of 1.5 if necessary. 2. I have not changed any of the default elasticsearch config settings. I see that the arches3 development installation has its own custom elasticsearch.yml file. Would it be advisable to change any default elasticsearch config settings on this installation to match those in the arches3 elasticsearch.yml file? -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.
