Hi Edward, I would like to clarify where this is coming from: This is based on a previous question that was sent to me directly by a user (new to both Flume and ES) that had errors trying to start up a Flume agent with an elasticsearch sink The user built Flume from source successfully. Then the user ran mvn dependency:tree in this folder https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=flume.git;a=tree;f=flume-ng-sinks/flume-ng-elasticsearch-sink;hb=77b5d2885fecb3560a873bd89f49cbac8a010347 >From the output, the user determined what version of lucene and elasticsearch >to use. The user copied these Lucene and ES jars from ~/.m2/repository to $FLUME_HOME/lib This resolved the ClassNotFoundException locally in Flume but the client was not compatible with the version of ElasticSearch at the service. This folder also has a pom.xml file which is what led to the confusion in this instance. To advanced users with a lot of experience with Flume and ES, this should never be an issue. It might sound like you are being too verbose. However, to complete newbies to Flume and/or ES, there is a slight possibility for confusion as it was the case with this user. - Israel ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
