#### Installing Elasticsearch
Instructions for setting up an Elasticsearch cluster can be found
[here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html).
Make sure to set and remember a cluster name. This must be set when
-creating a Sink for writing to your cluster
+creating an `ElasticsearchSink` for requesting document actions against
your cluster.
#### Elasticsearch Sink
-The connector provides a Sink that can send data to an Elasticsearch Index.
-
-The sink can use two different methods for communicating with
Elasticsearch:
-
-1. An embedded Node
-2. The TransportClient
-See
[here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/client.html)
-for information about the differences between the two modes.
+The `ElasticsearchSink` uses a `TransportClient` to communicate with an
+Elasticsearch cluster.
-This code shows how to create a sink that uses an embedded Node for
-communication:
+The example below shows how to configure and create a sink:

-Note how a Map of Strings is used to configure the Sink. The configuration

+Note how a `Map` of `String`s is used to configure the `ElasticsearchSink`.
+The configuration keys are documented in the Elasticsearch documentation
[here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html).
Especially important is the `cluster.name` parameter that must correspond
to
the name of your cluster.
-Internally, the sink uses a `BulkProcessor` to send index requests to the
cluster.
-This will buffer elements before sending a request to the cluster. The
behaviour of the
-`BulkProcessor` can be configured using these config keys:
+Also note that the example only demonstrates performing a single index
+request for each incoming element. Generally, the
`ElasticsearchSinkFunction`

+Internally, the sink uses a `BulkProcessor` to send acttion requests to

+This will buffer elements before sending them in bulk to the cluster. The
behaviour of the

configuration:
* **bulk.flush.max.actions**: Maximum amount of elements to buffer
* **bulk.flush.max.size.mb**: Maximum amount of data (in megabytes) to
buffer
* **bulk.flush.interval.ms**: Interval at which to flush data regardless
of the other two
settings in milliseconds

+For Elasticsearch versions 1.x, communication using an embedded node is
+also supported. See

Elasticsearch

-The difference is that we now need to provide a list of Elasticsearch Nodes
-to which the sink should connect using a `TransportClient`.

+
+#### Packaging the Elasticsearch Connector into an Uber-jar
+
+For the execution of your Flink program,
+it is recommended to build a so-called uber-jar (executable jar)
containing all your dependencies
+(see [here]({{site.baseurl}}/dev/linking) for further information).
+
+However,
+when an uber-jar containing an Elasticsearch sink is executed,
+an `IllegalArgumentException` may occur,
+which is caused by conflicting files of Elasticsearch and it's dependencies
+in `META-INF/services`:
+
+```
+IllegalArgumentException[An SPI class of type
org.apache.lucene.codecs.PostingsFormat with name 'Lucene50' does not exist.
You need to add the corresponding JAR file supporting this SPI to your
classpath. The current classpath supports the following names: [es090,
completion090, XBloomFilter]]
+```
+
+If the uber-jar is build by means of Maven,
+this issue can be avoided by adding the following bits to the pom file:
+
+```
+<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
+ <resource>META-INF/services/org.apache.lucene.codecs.Codec</resource>
+</transformer>
+<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
+
<resource>META-INF/services/org.apache.lucene.codecs.DocValuesFormat</resource>
+</transformer>
+<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
+
<resource>META-INF/services/org.apache.lucene.codecs.PostingsFormat</resource>
+</transformer>
+```

+1 for explaining how to resolve this issue!
It would be good if you could mention in the docs where to add the
transformers exactly.
Also, I'm wondering if you could use the ServicesTransformer instead:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/resource-transformers.html#ServicesResourceTransformer
