Summary: Remove Elasticsearch 5 Processors
Key: NIFI-9541
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9541
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: David Handermann
Assignee: David Handermann
Elasticsearch 5.0 reached end of life on 2018-04-26, and Elasticsearch 5.6
reached end of life on 2019-03-11 according to [Elasticsearch support
documentation|https://www.elastic.co/support/eol].
The NiFi Elasticsearch 5 processors leverage client version 5.0.1 which
provides narrow compatibility with different Elasticsearch 5 versions using the
deprecated transport protocol. The NiFi Elasticsearch 5 processors are not
built as part of the convenience binary release, but can be downloaded
separately from Maven Central Repository.
With Elasticsearch 5 no longer received updates, and alternative Elasticsearch
components available in NiFi using the supported REST protocol, maintaining the
current Elasticsearch 5 components will become more difficult down the road.
With the ability to run NAR files from previous versions, users requiring
Elasticsearch 5 components can continue to download the Elasticsearch 5 NAR
files from Maven Central.
