Install Aerospike Connect for Elasticsearch
Aerospike Connect for Elasticsearch streams data from Aerospike Database to Elasticsearch. This gives developers access to Elasticsearch's powerful text search capabilities on data in Aerospike.
Prerequisites
We support the connector on the following operating systems:
- RHEL (8 and 9)/CentOS 7
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Ubuntu 22.04
- Debian 10 (only on x86_64 hardware)
- Debian 11
Change notification
You must configure your database to send change notifications in order to stream data from Aerospike. For details, see Configuring Change Notification for Use with Connectors.
Java
This connector is a Java web-application that requires Java 8 or later. If you plan to use TLS v1.3, then you must use Java 11 or later. Both Oracle and OpenJDK Java Runtime Environments are supported.
The Aerospike Elasticsearch Connector package does not include a Java runtime environment. Most supported platforms provide official JDK 8 packages. For platforms that do not, you can get Oracle's JDK 8 builds from jdk.java.net/8/.
RHEL/CentOS
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
