Thrift Transport for Elasticsearch

DEPRECATED: The thrift transport is deprecated as of Elasticsearch v1.5.0, and will be removed in 2.0

The thrift transport plugin allows to use the REST interface over thrift on top of HTTP.

In order to install the plugin, simply run:

bin/plugin install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-transport-thrift/2.7.0

You need to install a version matching your Elasticsearch version:

elasticsearch	Thrift Plugin	Docs
master	Build from source	See below
es-1.7	2.7.0	2.7.0
es-1.6	2.6.0	2.6.0
es-1.5	2.5.0	2.5.0
es-1.4	2.4.1	2.4.1
es-1.3	2.3.0	2.3.0
es-1.2	2.2.0	2.2.0
es-1.0	2.0.0	2.0.0
es-0.90	1.8.0	1.8.0

To build a SNAPSHOT version, you need to build it with Maven:

mvn clean install
plugin --install transport-thrift \
       --url file:target/releases/elasticsearch-transport-thrift-X.X.X-SNAPSHOT.zip
