Elasticsearch as a search engine has become a real option. Switching from Zebra into ES is syspref handled. Koha instances should get created with an ES config entry poiting to localhost:9200 to make it easier for users to try it. Advanced users (having external ES servers/clusters can tweak themselves the file, but we need to provide a working setup for regular users.
Created attachment 63368 [details] [review] Bug 18571: Add default ES configuration to koha-conf-site.xml.in This patch adds a default configuration entry for elasticsearch. It will add localhost:9200 to the server subsection, and koha_instance (replacing instance for the corresponding instance name) for the namespace. To test: - Apply the patch - Copy the file to the /etc/koha dir: $ sudo cp kohaclone/debian/templates/koha-conf-site.xml.in /etc/koha - Create a new instance: $ sudo koha-create --create-db test => SUCCESS: /etc/koha/sites/test/koha-conf.xml includes the mentioned section: <elasticsearch> <server>localhost:9200</server> <index_name>koha_test</index_name> </elasticsearch> - Sign off :-D Note: As the use of ES is syspref driven, this default entry doesn't have any use until ES is installed and SearchEngine set to Elasticsearch. So it doesn't hurt but will help end users test the ES integration. Advanced users will take care of this config entry manually (pointing to external servers/clusters, etc).
