Using ElasticSearch Connector 7 with Liferay 7.3.X
New Member Posts: 21 Join Date: 3/5/20 Recent Posts
I am building up a new system to be deployed in a couple of months and so I was starting with the latest Liferay (7.3.x) and ElasticSearch (7.6).Currently the liferay bundles only ship with the elasticsearch connector for ElasticSearch 6.So I tried to use the elasticsearch connector 7 from the marketplace.I am getting this error (and some other connection issues):2020-03-31 08:15:30.414 ERROR [Framework Event Dispatcher: Equinox Container: 30aea4c4-6acd-492e-a240-2e7cc6531669][F
ramework:93] FrameworkEvent ERROR  
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch7.impl [1116]_  
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.liferay.portal.kernel.cluster; version="[7.0.0,8.0.0)"_ [Sanitized]

1) I was wanting to confirm that the elasticsearch connector 7 that is currently listed in the marketplace is not compatible with the new 7.3.X liferay versions; and2) Is the only way to get a compatible elasticsearch connect 7 for liferay 7.3.X is to build it myself? There has been a new release of liferay (7.3.1 ga2) which I have just checked only has the elasticsearch connector 6;Happy to build myself at this point but was hoping to find quick solution.ThanksMichael

Liferay 7.3 doesn't support ES 7 at this point, support will only be added in upcoming releases (you could try to download a snapshot build, maybe it is already in there). So, currently you need to use 6.x

Thanks for the info;  Just as a note for others. The current, as of this post, snapshot does not include the elasticsearch 7 connector in the build.

Hello, Nice to know that you built it yourself, I'm needing to do it too, is there a possibility that you give me some help about how to build ElasticSearch Connector 7 for LR 7.3.x ?
Thanks
Alejandro
