I am having a hard time loading index dumps using instructions from the elastic blog Looks like others are too
I am trying to do something very basic - load wikiquotes/wikivoyage index and run simple elastic search queries. There are a lot of docs saying a lot of different things but looks like I just need clarity on 3 pieces of info
[1] Version of elasticsearch to use? I was trying things out with 6.3 and I can't figure out what version is being used by wikipedia or where to find the version number.
[2] Do I need to add plugins after elasticsearch is installed (I am on ubuntu 16.04) some docs say analysis-icu and others point at https://github.com/wikimedia/search-extra I cant figure out what these plugins are doing so not sure if they are the source of my errors
[3] Creating the index initially needs a mapping and setting file which seem to be very different for elastic 2,5,6. I tried using these Mapping & Setting but it looks like they are of a much older version. Is there a place where I can find the current files and just drag and drop them into my basic single node no replication setup?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
