  4. Delete existing (old) index if exists

Index should not exists with the same name as the alias

out:
  type: elasticsearch
  mode: replace
  nodes:
  - {host: localhost, port: 9200}
  index: <alias name> # plugin generates index name like <index>_%Y%m%d-%H%M%S 
  index_type: <index type>

Build

$ ./gradlew gem  # -t to watch change of files and rebuild continuously

Test

$ ./gradlew test  # -t to watch change of files and rebuild continuously

To run unit tests, we need to configure the following environment variables.

When environment variables are not set, skip almost test cases.

ES_HOST
ES_PORT(optional, if needed, default: 9300)
ES_INDEX
ES_INDEX_TYPE

If you're using Mac OS X El Capitan and GUI Applications(IDE), like as follows.

$ vi ~/Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>sh</string>
    <string>-c</string>
    <string>
      launchctl setenv ES_HOST example.com
      launchctl setenv ES_PORT 9300
      launchctl setenv ES_INDEX embulk
      launchctl setenv ES_INDEX_TYPE embulk
    </string>
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist
$ launchctl getenv ES_INDEX //try to get value.

Then start your applications.
