elasticsearch

Hi,
I am really fascinated by both elasticsearch and roo, so I am thinking about creating a roo addon. I went through solr addon source code and I think a great deal of it can be reused. Now the question is, should it be separate or joint addon, called e.g "search" with --provider option. There are more search engines out there like: xapian, katta, sphinx, just to name a few, so new providers could be added in future.
What do you think?

best,
milan

I think providing an add-on for elastic search is a great idea!

Given there are a number of choices in terms search projects it makes sense to create separate add-ons for those.

Looking at the Solr add-on is a good idea. However, you should not use the pom.xml of that add-on since it is specific to the Roo core maven setup. Instead you should start by using the 'addon create advanced' command and go from there.

I have pushed a add-on development guide to Roo master and it will be available with the 1.1.1 release (you can already review it if you run 'mvn site' against master). The guide contains lots of info on how to publish and register your new add-on.

HTH,
Stefan

I started working on elastic search integration with Spring:

Katta is also currently being worked on,

Did you get a chance to integrate ES into roo?
