Liferay 7 - ElasticSearch 5 ?

[Benjamin Bini, geändert vor 7 Jahren.]

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is any plan to make LR7 compatible with ElasticSearch 5 ?

Is it already possible to integrate it or are we stuck with version 2.2.0 for now ?

Thanks!

Stick with 2.2(.2).

Only move when/if Liferay supports it.

Or better yet, create an ES5 compatible search extension and share it with Liferay's community

We are working on a new Liferay DXP EE install that we want to integrate its indexes in our elastic search servers which are currently running on 5.4.2 version of elastic search. Could you please elaborate on what would be required to develop that extensions? Could you provide some insights on which classes are responsible for the 2.2 integration? Should this new extension be packaged as an OSGI module? We need some hints on where to go next.

Thanks

Can't go in too much details right now but you can have a look at https://github.com/liferay/com-liferay-portal-search

You can also join (if you haven't already) our Slack channel (https://communitychat.liferay.com/) and see if someone has tried or can help.

Hi Iñaki,

If you are working with Liferay DXP EE, before implementing that extensions, you should talk with official Liferay Support about the consequences of that customization.

And for the flip side of that, you can assume that Liferay will be bumping supported versions of ES at some point, especially since 2.2 is EOL in august.

If possible, I would recommend using a dedicated ES for your Liferay instances that satisfies the Liferay supported version. That way you can use DXP now yet not put yourself through some sort of enterprise downgrade just to get there.










Come meet me at the 2017 LSNA!

FWIW, A ticket has been open in December 2017 to upgrade to ElasticSearch 6. Yes, this is not about ElasticSearch 5, but it addresses the overall concern of using an extremely outdated third party product/library.
