Interface DiscoveryPlugin

public interface DiscoveryPlugin

An additional extension point for Plugins that extends Elasticsearch's discovery functionality. To add an additional NetworkService.CustomNameResolver just implement the interface and implement the getCustomNameResolver(Settings) method:

 public class MyDiscoveryPlugin extends Plugin implements DiscoveryPlugin {
     @Override
     public NetworkService.CustomNameResolver getCustomNameResolver(Settings settings) {
         return new YourCustomNameResolverInstance(settings);
     }
 }

Method Detail

getCustomNameResolver

default NetworkService.CustomNameResolver getCustomNameResolver(Settings settings)

Override to add additional NetworkService.CustomNameResolvers. This can be handy if you want to provide your own Network interface name like _mycard_ and implement by yourself the logic to get an actual IP address/hostname based on this name. For example: you could call a third party service (an API) to resolve _mycard_. Then you could define in elasticsearch.yml settings like:

 network.host: _mycard_
