Releasing x-plugins

Releasing is split into two steps now. First, elasticsearch core gets a testing release. This release is not published on the maven sonatype repo, but is left as a staging repository. At the same time, the created artifacts are uploaded to the download.elastic.co S3 bucket into a private URL, that is comprised of the version and the commit hash.

As soon as the core is uploaded there, we can use this repository to build x-plugins against it.

Release x-plugins for a release candidate

In order to upload x-plugins to the elasticsearch core release candidate, you need to execute the release_beta_to_s3 shell script. There are two parameters, first the version to be released and second the commit hash, which is part of the URL to download this beta release.

sh x-dev-tools/release_beta_to_s3.sh 2.0.0-beta1 468cb61

So, what is this script doing

  • Adds the S3 bucket as repository
  • Updates the versions in the pom.xml to reflect the non-snapshot version
  • runs mvn install into a local repository, then removes sources and emits the s3cmd command to sync with the core repo

As soon as the Elasticsearch is released, this S3 bucket is just renamed. This means, that at this moment, the x-plugins will work for the plugin manager, without you having to do anthing!

However, one last step remains...

Deploying x-plugins into maven repositories

For those, who want to use the jar files as part of their java projects, we have to update our own artifactory after the release has been done.

In addition to those steps like updating documentation we have to run deploy to this repo. What is required for this, is the version of the release and the commit hash of the commit in the x-plugins repo.

NOTE: This is not the same commit hash as above in the release candidate process. Luckily the script should fail, when git does not find the commit!

sh release_to_repositories.sh 2.0.0-beta1 75964ad

This script checks out the specified commit hash, removes all the -SNAPSHOT suffixes and runs mvn deploy -Pdeploy-public. The script will also wait for you pressing enter before proceeding!
