Hello Opscode folks,

I’ve made a good update for the elasticsearch cookbook. And now I try to
fecth it from the opscode-cookbooks repository with no success:) Yeah,
it’s absent there.
But I’m really eager to merge my changes… So what steps should I
produce than?

Regards,
Denis

Which elasticsearch cookbook? This one?

http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/elasticsearch

That one is maintained by Grant Rodgers, not Opscode. Unless you mean
a different elasticsearch cookbook - I see three on GitHub after a
Google search.

The "ospcode-cookbooks" organization on GitHub contains only cookbooks
that we directly publish, maintain and support, all under the
"opscode" user on the community site. Everyone is free to share their
own cookbooks on the community site (and host the code repository
wherever they like).

Hey Joshua,

Thanks that exactly what I thought. This cookbook is heavily outdated.
Could we publish the new cookbook in the opscode repository? I think it
would be problematic to contact the author, the cookbook is dated to
2010 and it's too old. Though I haven't try to contact the author... I
mean the author doesn't support the cookbook, so this may just turn into
a waste of time.
It also concerns all other cookbooks that are forgot by their authors.
They don't have any life in their repositories. Actually I have also
created the new graylog2 cookbook which uses elasticsearch.
If both of them were in the opscode repository they would probably get
more progress.

So is it possible to publish the named cookbooks into the opsocde
repository?

Regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,

I'am really glad you made a update on this both cookbooks, you can ask the
author to be a contributor on the community Opscode site. This way you
should be able to update the cookbooks."I am not sure about that I have
never try it"

This is a concern I also have. I have several cookbooks that have the
same name as those on the community site so I never bothered to look
into what would be required to release them there. If we could somehow
add a "name" field to the metadata that the download tool could use to
name the directory downloaded into (or perhaps rework the way recipes
are named to be based on names rather than directory names) that would
solve a lot of these issues.

Actually I have also created the
new graylog2 cookbook which uses elasticsearch.

I would be very interested in these - we already have custom
mongo/graylog cookbooks that were derived from somewhere in the wild
at one stage. I am a week or two away from upgrading from 0.9.5p1 to
the latest and would like to share the effort if possible. Are these
stored in a github repository anywhere?

have you tried to contact Grant Rodgers [grantr (Grant Rodgers) · GitHub] to discuss the matters with him? If not, I strongly suggest to do so. We have have frequently discussed out different approaches to Chef-related ElasticSearch stuff.

Yes, I pushed them into my repo you may have a look:

if I can chime in, downloading and unpacking using the ark resource
would be as simple as

ark "elasticsearch" do
url https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.19.2.tar.gz
prefix_root "/usr/local"
checksum adac92d66ce91f42d9e67bd60e6b1335995f5dfdd153165fdcf1fe24b63ac59e
has_binaries [ "bin/elasticsearch" ]
end

just an idea :wink:

GitHub - bryanwb/chef-ark: An archive unpacker and installer

just an idea :wink:

Yeah, I couldn't agree more it is awesome. But I've got only one
question regarding ark. How does it track whether the app is installed?
Does it keep downloaded source tarball or what?
Actually I'm interested in the ark and I will probably use it later)
Bryan note that elasticsearch is now debianized (>- 0.19) so there's no
need to use source installation method if you've got your apt repository
or some kind of third-party repository like PPA. In debian/ubuntu with
versions later 0.19 packages can be easily used.

it checks to see whether elasticsearch is unpacked

I forgot an important attribute in my example

ark "elasticsearch" do
url https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.19.2.tar.gz
version "0.19.2"
prefix_root "/usr/local"
checksum adac92d66ce91f42d9e67bd60e6b1335995f5dfdd153165fdcf1fe24b63ac59e
has_binaries [ "bin/elasticsearch" ]
end

ark does keep the downloaded tarball in the chef cache path

ark checks whether or not the directory
/usr/local/elasticsearch-0.19.2/ exists and is empty
If it is not empty, ark unpacks the downloaded tarball

that's awesome that it is debianized, sadly it has not been
centos-ized ;( as well
