Unknown issue in Nutch elastic indexer with nutch REST api - elasticsearch

Question

I was trying to expose nutch using REST endpoints and ran into an issue in indexer phase. I'm using elasticsearch index writer to index docs to ES. I've used $NUTCH_HOME/runtime/deploy/bin/nutch startserver command. While indexing an unknown exception is thrown.
Error:

Any help would be appreciated.
PS : After debugging using stack trace I think the issue is due to mismatch in guava version. I've tried changing build.xml of plugins(parse-tika and parsefilter-naivebayes) but it didn't work.

Answer 1

I have found solution for this issue. This is due to the version compatibility of guava dependency. Hadoop uses guava-11.0.2.jar as dependency. But the elastic indexer plugin in nutch requires 18.0 version of guava. That's why it is throwing an exception when trying to run in distributed hadoop. So we just need to update guava version to 18.0 in hadoop libs(can be found at $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/libs/).
