Elasticsearch Migration Plugin installation steps - elasticsearch

In order to upgrade 2.3.z elasticsearch to 5.x, I have successfully installed elasticsearch migration plugin, but when linking to http://localhost:9200/_plugin/elasticsearch-migration/ I get a blank page.
Can someone let me know the following:-
Do I have to install the plugin all the machines in the cluster?
Do I have to restart all the machines in the cluster?
I have already tried the steps as mentioned here. But still I am getting a blank page.

As discussed in elastic community
Plugin is not needed to be installed in all the nodes. Only one node is sufficient.
Restart of node or cluster is not needed.

Is it possible to install only the profiling feature of Elasticsearch 6.8 X-Pack?

My installation of Elasticsearch 6.8.22 does not include an installation of X-Pack because so far we have not needed any of its features.
I am generating profiling data on queries, using the Profile API, but I want to use the Search Profiler UI capabilities available in Kibana. The documentation says that this is part of X-Pack.
My questions are:
Do I have to install all of X-Pack in order to use the Search
Profiler UI, or is it possible to install only certain features?
Do
I have to install X-Pack on the entire Elasticsearch cluster where I
am running the query in order to profile it?
Can I isolate the
X-Pack installation by creating a new separate Kibana installation
on its own server and connecting to my cluster, or does the X-Pack
installation need to be on one or more Elasticsearch servers in my
cluster?
the answer to 1 is it need to be installed as an entire package
the answer to 2 is yes, the entire cluster
the answer to 3 is no, see question 2

Installing Elastic Search over cassandra on live server

I need to install elastic search over existing Cassandra database.
I have over 50 customers using the server live now.
There is an option to install elassandra [ Elastic search + Cassandra ]. But my customers are using the database live and in order to install elassandra i will have to uninstall Cassandra.
Is there any solution for this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
As the server is running right now, you can update node by node to a elassandra installation with deactivated elastic.
Once all nodes are updated, you restart one by one and activate elastic.
In case you have only one server running, you should rethink your architecture

How to define datacenter.group in conf/elasticsearch.yml in order to run Elassandra multi data center?

I've 2DC
DC1
x.x.x.1 running Elassandra 6.2.3 (seed)
x.x.x.2 running Elassandra 5.5.0 (seed)
DC2
x.x.x.3 running Elassandra 6.2.3 (seed)
Actually I didn't want to create a multi data center, at first I have only two nodes in DC1 but they're unable to connect with each other due to minimum version that allowed connectivity among Elassandra is 5.6.
The thing that stop me from re-install Elassandra from 5.5 to 6.2 is I have an important data on that node. So I came with the multi data center solution.
The solution I've got from Strapdata's guy previously is
1.Create a new Cassandra Datacenter DC2 running version 6.2.3, with a dedicated datacenter group (see https://elassandra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#multi-datacenter-configuration)
2. Re-create your indices in DC2, there is few differences in the elasticsearch mapping between version 5.5 and 6.2, so you have to deal with that manually.
If you have a lot of data to re-index, you can stop the single-thread index build with a nodetool stop -id <compaction_id>, and restart it in multi-threads, see https://elassandra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations.html?highlight=--num-threads#create-delete-and-rebuild-index
3. Test your application on DC2 (warning, there is breaking changes in the Elasticsearch API when upgrading)
4. Remove old DCs running version 5.5 when everything is ok on DC2.
I've search all over the internet, there're no mentioned about the datacenter.group in elasticsearch.yaml (http://doc.elassandra.io/en/latest/configuration.html#multi-datacenter-configuration)
Now I've no idea what should I do with the datacenter.group one
please help
Thanks
For guys that might came across the issue,
after a couple of hours, I've figured out how to define the datacenter.group
just simply add datacenter.group:<your desired name> at the bottom of elasticsearch.yml file.
Then restart Cassandra service
systemctl restart cassandra
You're good to go! all the data will automatically transfer to the new node.

Elasticsearch Hadoop

I have set up a Hadoop cluster with 3 DataNodes and 1 NameNode. I have also installed elasticsearch on one of the DataNodes. But I'm not able to access the HDFS using elasticsearch.(Hadoop cluster and Elasticsearch are working fine independently) Now, I want to integrate my Hadoop cluster with elasticsearch. I found there is a seperate plugin for that. But I'm not able to download it.(bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/1.3.0.M3 command is not working. It is failing everytime I executed it). Can anyone suggest me which plugin I should download. Also the path to place that plugin and how to aceess it using the url.
Thanks in advance
I suggest you try to use this repo.
It's an Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop and you can follow the documentation provided here to use it.
The repo is provided by Elasticsearch.
Try this
1) Download jars from this link
2) Unzip it and place the jars in plugin folder of Elasticsearch
3) restart the server and start using it..!
The elasticsearch hadoop library is not a plugin. You need to download or build it and put it into the classpath of the hadoop/spark application you will use.

ElasticSearch Couchbase integration

Basically I have followed the instructions here
But when I go to couchbase to setup the replication i get:
but I know it is there because
The machines can ping each other and no firewalls etc.....
I have found the following error in the log for elaticsearch every time i hit replicate in couchbase.
I am not sure what this means but....
Any pointers would be appreciated
Kindest Regards
Robin
Edit
Ps: lastest version of both couchbase and elasticsearch from today and running ubuntu server 12.04 LTS
I think that the CouchBase plugin has not been released yet for Elasticsearch 0.20.x but only for 0.19.x.
I think this is your issue here.
So try switching to a 0.19.9 ES version or wait for the next release of the CouchBase plugin.
