Creating Elasticsearch 7.x Input Data Source

The Elasticsearch 7.x connector allows you to connect and access data from an Elasticsearch cluster using Java High Level REST Client.

   NOTE

·         Similar to Elasticsearch 6.x connector but uses Java High Level REST Client.

·         To enable the Elasticsearch 7.x connector, refer to Elasticsearch Connectors Dependency Installation for more information on how to copy the provided dependency files to the Lib folder.

·         The Elasticsearch 7.x connector supports Elasticsearch 7.x versions.

·         Elasticsearch 6.x and Elasticsearch 7.x connectors will not work in a single Panopticon Streams Server instance due to conflicting Elasticsearch API dependencies.
