Elastic Cloud X-Pack Transport Example

Note: The Elasticsearch transport client is officially deprecated in 7.0.0 and we highly recommend for users to move to the high level Java REST client.

Elasticsearch version	Branch
7.x	master
6.x	6.x
5.x	5.x
2.x	2.x

Running

To run the example use mvn exec:java:

$ mvn compile exec:java -Dhost=YOUR_CLUSTER_ID.REGION.aws.found.io -Dxpack.security.user='username:password'

Replace YOUR_CLUSTER_ID with your cluster id and REGION with the region the cluster is started in.

Package

If you want to build an uber-jar, a package which contains the code and all of the dependencies, use the following command:

$ mvn compile assembly:single

The package will be build under target/transport-example-VERSION-jar-with-dependencies.jar.

Then you can run it:

$ java -Dhost=YOUR_CLUSTER_ID.REGION.aws.found.io -Dxpack.security.user='username:password' -jar target/transport-example-VERSION-jar-with-dependencies.jar

IPv4 / IPv6

By default, if IPv4 and IPv6 are both enabled then it is undetermined which will be used. The system properties -Dip4=true|false and -Dip6=true|false can be used to turn them on/off explicitly. If they are enabled then the network/host should support routing to the Cloud endpoint, e.g. this is not the case within Docker containers by default).
