Elasticsearch Grails plugin

An Elasticsearch plugin for Grails; This project is a fork based on the great work done by the guys at https://github.com/mstein/elasticsearch-grails-plugin.

Why would you want to fork the original Elasticsearch plugin?

The original Elasticsearch plugin relies on Hibernate-specific GORM components, thus rendering it unusable if you back your Grails application by any other database.

How can I obtain the plugin?

Just like any other Grails plugin, through the Grails Plugin center. Edit your project’s BuildConfig.groovy file, by adding the plugin’s dependency declaration:

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
    plugins {
        runtime ':elasticsearch:0.0.4.6'
    }
}

Ohs Nos! I’m hitting a java.lang.Exception: No datastore implementation specified

This error means that you probably haven’t specified your datastore type in your Config.groovy file. This plugin has an auto-index feature which automatically propagates any changes made to searchable Domains into the search index; this is done by hooking into GORM’s storage events but also requires a reference to the active datastore implementation. To fix, edit your project’s Config.groovy file and add:

elasticSearch {
    ...
    datastoreImpl = 'nameOfDatastoreBean'
    ...
}

Where the value should be the name of the datastore bean as it is configured in the Spring context; some possible values:

MongoDB

mongoDatastore

Hibernate

hibernateDatastore
