Hi Martin, You can do that by adding a dependency to the Elasticsearch client of your desired version in your project.
You can also check what Elasticsearch client version the project is using by checking `mvn dependency:tree` from the base directory of your project.

I'm currently running things from inside my IDE so it should not be a packaging problem. That said I added the plugin from the link provided but I'm not sure what elastic search library is needed. Where do I override the elastic search version? The only thing I'm currently using is the flink-connector do I have to modify its code? <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-connector-elasticsearch2_2.10</artifactId> <version>1.1.3</version> </dependency> One thing I forgot to mention, I can only modify things locally packing it into a jar. I'm stuck with stock Flink 1.1.3 for the execution since I'm running things on top of Hopsworks. cheers Martin On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 5:42 PM, Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai <tzuli...@apache.org> wrote: Hi! This could be a Elasticsearch server / client version conflict, or that the uber jar of your code wasn’t built properly. For the first possible issue, we’re currently using Elasticsearch 2.3.5 to build the Flink Elasticsearch Connector. Could you try overriding this version to 2.4.1 when building your code and see if the problem remains? For the second issue, please check out https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/dev/linking.html#packaging-dependencies-with-your-usercode-with-maven. Let me know if the problem remains after trying out the above :-) Cheers, Gordon On March 1, 2017 at 12:24:08 AM, Martin Neumann (mneum...@sics.se) wrote: Hej, I'm trying to write to elastic search from a streaming application and I get a weird error message I that I can't decipher. Hopefully, someone here can help me. I'm trying to run the java example from the website.I doublechecked that I can reach the elastic search from the development machine by putting some data in with curl. Has anyone an idea what the problem is?
