ES-Hadoop and Security
editES-Hadoop and Security
editElasticsearch for Apache Hadoop ("ES-Hadoop") is capable of using HTTP basic and
PKI authentication and/or TLS/SSL when accessing an Elasticsearch cluster. For
full details please refer to the ES-Hadoop documentation, in particular the
Security
section.
For authentication purposes, select the user for your ES-Hadoop client (for
maintenance purposes it is best to create a dedicated user). Then, assign that
user to a role with the privileges required by your Hadoop/Spark/Storm job.
Configure ES-Hadoop to use the user name and password through the
es.net.http.auth.user
and es.net.http.auth.pass
properties.
If PKI authentication is enabled, setup the appropriate keystore
and truststore
instead through es.net.ssl.keystore.location
and es.net.truststore.location
(and their respective .pass
properties to specify the password).
For secured transport, enable SSL/TLS through the es.net.ssl
property by
setting it to true
. Depending on your SSL configuration (keystore, truststore, etc…)
you might need to set other parameters as well - please refer to the
ES-Hadoop documentation,
specifically the Configuration
and Security
chapters.
