Support for AWS Elasticsearch Service

[khundaqji]

AWS Elasticsearch service accepts only signed requests (AWS4 Signature that is generated from all request components [method, uri, payload, datestamp, secretkey, key ... etc])

Version 2.0.0 of Jest doesn't support this feature. Even doing it manually by adding the required headers to the Search object of jest won't solve this issue.

Hi,

Jest Version 2.x needs a Elasticsearch Version > 2.x. Amazons Elasticsearch Version is something like 1.5.2.

For the signing, you can check #368 - there are some good solutions.

Hey,

Thanks for your prompt response, I have started testing this pull request modifications version made by the contributor. And so far so good.

I will give a full feedback of my results once done

Hey @khundaqji, as mentioned in the other issue, it's worth using https://github.com/inreachventures/aws-signing-request-interceptor rather than the forked version, if possible.

@thesmith thanks, this works very well.
I switched to https://github.com/inreachventures/aws-signing-request-interceptor now

Btw: Aws releases Elasticsearch v2.3
