Description

We have used a lot of Knox Gateway Services and ElasticSearch service on our Big Data platforms. However there are no Knox Gateway Service for ElasticSearch yet. In our situation, we need such a Knox Gateway Service for ElasticSearch without Knox to do the …
authentication but ElasticSearch Rest Server(s) to do the authentication. As per our use case, we have developed such a Knox Gateway ElasticSearch Service (services/elasticsearch/1.0.0), and we are in a mode to share the code to the Apache Knox community because it has been fully tested for the following scenarios:
(1) No-LDAP, Local-LDAP or company-specific-LDAP authentication in the Knox gateway;
(2) Any Elasitcsearch Index - creation, deletion, refresshing and data - writing, updating and retrieval;
(3) Elasticsearch node root query.
