ElasticSearch: Adding kerberos authentication using Jest Client

Question

We have to implement kerberos authentication using Jest client in our application.

Maven dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.searchbox</groupId>
        <artifactId>jest</artifactId>
        <version>${jest.version}</version>
    </dependency>

There is no proper example on their GitHub page for kerberos authentication.

Can someone guide me how to implement this?

Answer 1

jest is not the official client of elasticsearch and elasticsearch now offers the official client called JHLRC which seems to support the kerberos auth.
