plans to support Elasticsearch 6.x on ogr2ogr?

[Osvaldo Banuelos]

I'd like to index shapefile data to Elasticsearch using GDAL. Unfortunately, ogr2ogr does not work when the Elasticsearch instance version is 6.X.

Expected behavior

Executing the following command should create mappings and index data onto local Elasticsearch instance.

ogr2ogr -f "ElasticSearch" http://localhost:9200/gadm36_USA_1.shp

 

Actual behavior

ogr2ogr -f ElasticSearch http://localhost:9200/ gadm36_USA_1.shp

ERROR 1: HTTP error code : 405
ERROR 1: {"error":"Incorrect HTTP method for uri [//gadm36_usa_1] and method [PUT], allowed: [POST]","status":405}
ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed

Steps to reproduce

ogr2ogr -f "ElasticSearch" http://localhost:9200/ gadm36_USA_1.shp

instructions from: https://gdal.org/1.11/ogr/drv_elasticsearch.html

.shp file from: https://gadm.org/download_country_v3.html

Downgrading to an older Elasticsearch version (5.X), the command above works. Are there any plans to support the latest Elastic release?

Thanks,

Osvaldo
