Problem/Motivation

A lot of work was done in Search API for Drupal 8.
After all this hard core work, when Database backend and Solr was ready, a GSoC project was started creating a Elasticsearch backend.
See completion report here:
https://groups.drupal.org/node/439088
And also the sandbox of the project:
https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/prateeksachan/2275583

Search API is way more flexible now.

Proposed resolution

Connect with the student, search API maintainers and make sure we don't end up in split / duplicated work.

As there is already a 8.x release, i wonder what the status of that port is. Could you provide some insight / roadmap?

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Hi. Thanks for creating the issue.

I'd already informed them of this project that I would be taking the elasticsearch_connector 7.x module and porting it to D8. After completion, I've notified the maintainer about it and asked him if he could review and merge it in this project.

It would be great if we both can merge our projects as I would be continuing to work on the 8.x-1.x branch.

I'm still waiting for a reply.

Hi Guys,

The project https://drupal.org/sandbox/prateeksachan/2275583 has been merged to 8.x-1.x branch of Elasticsearch Connector module with preserving the commit history from sandbox.
@xan.ps you have rights to commit to the git repository of the module. We need to rename some of the files to preserve the naming convention but I will create separate issues for this.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Best Regards,
Nikolay Ignatov
