Hi, 

I'm using Liferay 6.2, and i can't migrate on Liferay 7.

Is it possible to configure Elasticsearch 6 with my version of Liferay? 

How can i do it?

Thanks

Hi C P,

There is no official support of any Elasticsearch version in Liferay 6.2

 

There is a third-party plugin in Liferay Marketplace (not implemented by Liferay) that allows you to use Elasticsearch in Liferay 6.2: https://web.liferay.com/es/marketplace/-/mp/application/41044606

 

 

But it only supports Elasticsearch 1.4.0.

 

In your message you say you cannot migrate to Liferay 7, is there any special reason about it?

 

Regards,

Jorge Díaz

Thanks for the reply!

I've read about the plug-in and  i already know that it won't work in my case.
I'm working on a web app already developed by someone else, and they are currently using this version of liferay. My task is just to figure out, if possible, a way to connect this web app with Elasticsearch 6.

 

Update:

Maybe i could try to use Elasticsearch API, but i have to figure out how to add the dependencies correctly in Liferay.

Your only option is to create your own plugin in order to connect to Elasticsearch 6

 

You can use as an example Liferay Solr 4 plugin code:

You will have to replace all Solr client references to Elasticsearch one.


You can also use the code of third-party Elasticsearch 1.4.0 connector, but I don't know where is located its code.

Jorge
