             Summary: Remove Elasticsearch 5 Processors
                 Key: NIFI-9541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9541
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: David Handermann
            Assignee: David Handermann


Elasticsearch 5.0 reached end of life on 2018-04-26, and Elasticsearch 5.6 reached end of life on 2019-03-11 according to [Elasticsearch support documentation|https://www.elastic.co/support/eol].

The NiFi Elasticsearch 5 processors leverage client version 5.0.1 which provides narrow compatibility with different Elasticsearch 5 versions using the deprecated transport protocol. The NiFi Elasticsearch 5 processors are not built as part of the convenience binary release, but can be downloaded separately from Maven Central Repository.

With Elasticsearch 5 no longer received updates, and alternative Elasticsearch components available in NiFi using the supported REST protocol, maintaining the current Elasticsearch 5 components will become more difficult down the road. With the ability to run NAR files from previous versions, users requiring Elasticsearch 5 components can continue to download the Elasticsearch 5 NAR files from Maven Central.
