This documentation distinguishes two categories of plugins:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Core Plugins:: This category identifies plugins that are part of Elasticsearch
|
||||||
|
project. Delivered at the same time as Elasticsearch, their version number always
|
||||||
|
matches the version number of Elasticsearch itself. These plugins are maintained
|
||||||
|
by the Elastic team with the appreciated help of amazing community members (for
|
||||||
|
open source plugins). Issues and bug reports can be reported on the
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch[Github project page].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Community contributed:: This category identifies plugins that are external to
|
||||||
|
the Elasticsearch project. They are provided by individual developers or private
|
||||||
|
companies and have their own licenses as well as their own versioning system.
|
||||||
|
Issues and bug reports can usually be reported on the community plugin's web site.
