Hi,

Is it possible to install this plugin with the method bin/elastisearch-plugin install .... ?

If it's not possible, can you ggive further details on how to actually install it please?
I'm not a java developer I dont know much about the solution you give in the readme. I presume that mvn stands for maven?

Thank you

Well, java world was not as frightening as in my remember of a child playing with computers.

I managed to install it with maven, but it would be very good if the plugin can be installed from the elasticsearch plugin manager. Especially because this features is very useful.

Hi,
I changed the plugin to POM file to create a ZIP file that can be installed using the Elasticsearch plugin manager command in commit 71b3c2f. I updated the docs accordingly.

You still have to build the plugin yourself with Maven, but because I do not want to maintain a separate ZIP file for every Elasticsearch version out there, I only provide the 5.3.0 version here (and a branch with latest 5.2.1, because there is a small code change needed).
