[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-2015) ElasticSearchSink: need access to IndexRequestBuilder instance during flume event processing

["Mike Percy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2015?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13638205#comment-13638205 ] 

Mike Percy commented on FLUME-2015:
-----------------------------------

Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for the patch! I think you will be happy to know that there is current work ongoing on a new serializer interface, as the existing API cannot be modified due to a desire to maintain backwards API compatibility for Flume plugin writers.

It would be really great if you could coordinate with Edward Sargisson since he has a patch up to implement a new serializer in FLUME-1782, and it would be unfortunate if that new interface would not be able to handle your use case.

A couple of additional things I'd also ask of you:
* Can you provide a bit more information about what your motivating use case is for this API enhancement?
* Please check out the [Providing Patches section of our How to Contribute page|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/How+to+Contribute#HowtoContribute-ProvidingPatches] to find out how to attach a patch to a JIRA ticket.

Thanks!

Regards,
Mike

> I need more control over the indexing performed by the {{ElasticSearchSink}} -- in particular I need access to an {{IndexRequestBuilder}} instance during flume event processing. The interactions between {{ElasticSearchSink}} and {{ElasticSearchEventSerializer}} currently do not make this possible.
> I have authored a patch that meets my needs and maintains backwards-compatibility for existing users of the sink. It is available at [https://github.com/prime8/flume/commit/1056c129b10c95cee50e0c3f77e309668f82bfc6] -- please let me know if it can be pulled into the main ASF source tree!
> Thanks :-)
