Loading in Elasticsearch 1.4.4

I have elasticsearch 1.4.4 installed on my system and it does not seem to load reindexing-1.4.1 plugin. Can you tell me how I get my Elasticsearch setup to recognize the plugin ?

Please check Elasticsearch's log file and plugins directory.

It seems there is no 1.4.4.zip anymore

Actually at https://github.com/codelibs/elasticsearch-reindexing/releases there are releases for up to 1.4.2. The version for 1.4.4 was never released. I wonder if the one for 1.4.2 works on 1.4.4.

It installs but maybe it doesn't work. However I'm very new to elasticsearch and I could misunderstand what I see.

I changed a field in a logstash template from analyzed to not_analyzed and I must reindex. Restarted logstash which pushed the new template to elasticsearch (I verified it), installed the elasticsearch plugin, restarted elasticsearch.

index=my_index
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/${index}/_reindex/${index}_new/?wait_for_completion=true
curl -s -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v|grep -e my_index -e docs.count
health status index                pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size 
green  open   my_index             5   0          1            0     10.5kb         10.5kb 
green  open   my_index_new         5   0          0            0       575b           575b 

There are no docs in the new index.

Reindexing plugin 1.4.2 support elasticserach 1.4.4. Plugin version is different from elasticsearch version.

One final word: it works.

Eventually the documents appear in the new index. After about one minute I get

curl -s -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v|grep -e my_index -e docs.count
health status index                pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size 
green  open   my_index             5   0          1            0     10.5kb         10.5kb
green  open   my_index_new         5   0          1            0     10.5kb         10.5kb

It seems that ?wait_for_completion=true has no effect. I tried without variables and with '' around the URL to escape the ?

$ curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/my_index/_reindex/my_index_new/?wait_for_completion=true'
{"acknowledged":true}

and no documents in the new index for a while. Maybe this is because it's elasticsearch 1.4.4. Anyway, the plugin is mostly OK and I can work around this. Thanks.
