unable to use this plugin with elasticsearch shield security

[dogfish182]

does not support giving basic authentication as username:pass@localhost in config file.

a work around for this is to configure anonymous authentication for shield, however I don't know what permissions to create in the roles as I'm not sure which operations are being performed on startup, which indices and cluster operations must I allow?

error on running with a shield secured node in foreground (esearch 1.5)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI can't be null.
