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 Details

    • 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_

    • getSeedHostProviders

      default Map<String,Supplier<SeedHostsProvider>> getSeedHostProviders(TransportService transportService, NetworkService networkService)
      Returns providers of seed hosts for discovery. The key of the returned map is the name of the host provider (see DiscoveryModule.DISCOVERY_SEED_PROVIDERS_SETTING), and the value is a supplier to construct the host provider when it is selected for use.
      Parameters:
      transportService - Use to form the TransportAddress portion of a DiscoveryNode
      networkService - Use to find the publish host address of the current node
