Create Elasticsearch plugins [plugin-authors]
{{es}} plugins are modular bits of code that add functionality to {{es}}. Plugins are written in Java and implement Java interfaces that are defined in the source code. Plugins are composed of JAR files and metadata files, compressed in a single zip file.
There are two ways to create a plugin:
- Creating text analysis plugins with the stable plugin API
- Text analysis plugins can be developed against the stable plugin API to provide {{es}} with custom Lucene analyzers, token filters, character filters, and tokenizers.
- Creating classic plugins
- Other plugins can be developed against the classic plugin API to provide custom authentication, authorization, or scoring mechanisms, and more.
