Settings related to pluginsedit
Custom plugins directoryedit
The plugins
directory can be changed from the default by adding the
following to the elasticsearch.yml
config file:
path.plugins: /path/to/custom/plugins/dir
The default location of the plugins
directory depends on
which package you install.
Mandatory Pluginsedit
If you rely on some plugins, you can define mandatory plugins by adding
plugin.mandatory
setting to the config/elasticsearch.yml
file, for
example:
plugin.mandatory: mapper-attachments,lang-python
For safety reasons, a node will not start if it is missing a mandatory plugin.
