#100 Don't seem to be able to change the version

[weiner]

This change allows to overwrite the elasticsearch version in a role and fixes the issues that the new version didn't got downloaded.

role.rb

....

override_attributes({
:elasticsearch => {
:version => "0.90.7"
}
})

This is one approach, with one rather big downside, if I'm not mistaken -- users can't set node.elasticsearch.download_url to some private/special/etc URL, possibly within their organization, etc.

Ping.

I have the same issue. in my cookbook, I added in attributes/customize.rb the following lines:

normal[:elasticsearch][:version] = '1.1.0'

And this create:

greg@elasticsearch-0:~$ ll /usr/local/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 12 root          root          4096 Sep  5 23:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 10 root          root          4096 Jun  7 10:49 ../
drwxr-xr-x  2 root          root          4096 Sep  5 23:54 bin/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root          root            30 Sep  5 23:54 elasticsearch -> /usr/local/elasticsearch-1.1.0/
drwxr-xr-x  6 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Sep  5 23:54 elasticsearch-1.1.0/

but

as you can see, the version inside the 1.1 folder is elasticsearch-0.90.12.jar.

How can I fix that ?

[karmi]

I'm torn between this approach and what I added in #180 (comment). See the linked article: https://coderanger.net/derived-attributes/

Moreover, I'm really wary of any invasive change to the cookbook, I don't have the bandwidth to properly test it etc.

Hi there -- we've promoted a new, fully re-written branch to master on this cookbook. We've discovered Github actually automatically closes all PRs when the branch they're made onto is moved. Please consider re-opening/resubmitting if your PR still applies to the re-written cookbook. I apologize for the automatic close that Github made on this PR. Thank you!
