Any provision to make it Chef 11.10 compatible?

[sagar1730]

Hi,

I have tested it on Vagrant with Chef-Solo version 12.5 where it works perfectly, but when I tried it on AWS Opswork it failed. AWS supports only upto 11.10 for Linux and 12.1 for Windows. Is there any trick to make it Chef 11.10 compatible.

Hi @sagar1730 -- chef 12.x was released about a year ago. We specifically dropped support for it when doing a 1.0.0 release, so I don't think we'd add it back in. It's a ton of additional testing, and in some cases, requires rewriting or maintaining a lot of legacy code. My recommendation would be to use an older version of this cookbook if you want to use Chef 11.x. I hope this helps!

@sagar1730 - I strongly encourage you to contact your AWS account manager and complain about the state of OpsWorks. I've been howling about this for some time and haven't been getting anywhere. Getting some additional community members to chime in to AWS would be a big help.

@davidski and @martinb3 - Thanks for your advice. I am digging for older version of this cookbook, but can't find it. If you know the link then kindly post it. I need this cookbook desperately to work because I have to install ES 1.6.0 through it.

@sagar1730 - v1.0.3 should be fine for Chef11. https://github.com/elastic/cookbook-elasticsearch/tree/v1.0.3 - Correction, use the 0.3.x branches as mentioned in the following comment.

Sorry, that should be the 0.3.x branches, the last of which was https://github.com/elastic/cookbook-elasticsearch/tree/v0.3.14.

Thanks @davidski ...I will test it now, I hope it will work.
