Support for ElasticSearch 6.2?

[lucamilanesio]

Hi all,

is there any plan to update Gerrit's support for ES 6.2?

The Gerrit Analytics platform is currently on ES 5.5 but soon will be upgraded to 6.2. The support for Gerrit indexing though seems a bit behind :-(

Yes. The plan is:

1. Replace Jest client with ES low level REST client.

This would allow us to remove runtime dependency on ES itself and avoid

tight coupling with used Lucene version in Gerrit core, because ES is pinned

to specific Lucene version.

2. Replace embedded ES mode with standalone mode or docker test container

for acceptance tests.

This would allow us to remove dependency on ES entirely from Gerrit core.

At that point we should be able to bump both ES and Lucene versions

independently from each other.
