enrise / elasticsearch-formula Goto Github PK

I recently noticed some unusual behaviour, when setting up ES on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS VM, the pkg requirement for "default-jre-headless" wasn't found. It's in the repo, and I could manually install it, but afterwards, the requisites not found issue still popped up. By commenting out

require:
pkg: default-jre-headless

in install.sls, it worked. It seems that somehow, the minion wasn't able to find or resolve the dependency. As a test, I removed default-jre-headless and elasticsearch, and did a new highstate with the pkg requirement commented out, and it resolved all by itself.

If there is no reason other than 'completeness' for that pkg to be required, I'd like to remove it (and put in a PR).

On the first provision of a machine that has elasticsearch enabled, the service won't start. After a second run it works just fine.

@Enrise/matchminds what do you think about moving/copying your implementation of installing Oracle 8 Java and the JRE extension into this formula?

Elastic advices (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html) to use this, so why not make it default.
