Update elasticsearch client about log4j2-elasticsearch HOT 9 CLOSED

Absolutely, I'd love to do that (if I had to). The thing is that - current client versions are compatible with all of the latest ES cluster releases.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong but)
log4j2-elasticsearch-jest works fine with 6.2.4 (I'll give you an update against 6.3.0 soon)
log4j2-elasticsearch5-bulkprocessor works fine with 5.x and 6.x
so, unless you have a feature request that requires the update, I feel really well with the versions that we're on ATM

Yes, it works but it brings unwanted dependencies to my project.

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

Ok, makes sense. I'll see what I can do.
Which module gives you trouble? And which dependencies you'd like to get rid of?

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

We are using elasticsearch client v6.x in our project. I didn't try to force client v6 dependency but it doesn't seem to be a right way to deal with it IMHO.

I'd like to use log4j2-elasticsearch5-bulkprocessor.

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

This is pretty nasty. Exclusion will not work as 5.6.9 and 6.x have incompatible client.addTransportAddress APIs. Plus, XPack requires more deps in provided scope since 6.3.0. There are a couple of options here:

1. I can add log4j2-elasticsearch6-bulkprocessor in 1.2 release (coming soon) with dependency to 6.2.4 or later
2. I can update the client to 6.x in log4j2-elasticsearch5-bulkprocessor - I'm not a fan of this, cause it will create similar problems to projects using client v5.x
3. You could consider using log4j2-elasticsearch-jest in projects that use ES client v6.x as well

I'm leaning towards elasticsearch6 module, but what do you think about option 3 for now?

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

@kardapoltsev I've added log4j2-elasticsearch6-bulkprocessor with dependency to org.elasticsearch.client:transport:6.2.4. I'll release it next week.

Would you like to test it against 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT? If so, I'll put it in Maven repos over the weekend. As an alternative, you can build it yourself.

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I could test it if you still need it.

from log4j2-elasticsearch.

Yes, please. I've just released log4j2-elasticsearch6-bulkprocessor:1.2.0 with a dep to 6.2.4

Works for me, thanks.
