+This documentation distinguishes two categories of plugins:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Core Plugins:: This category identifies plugins that are part of Elasticsearch
|
|
|
+project. Delivered at the same time as Elasticsearch, their version number always
|
|
|
+matches the version number of Elasticsearch itself. These plugins are maintained
|
|
|
+by the Elastic team with the appreciated help of amazing community members (for
|
|
|
+open source plugins). Issues and bug reports can be reported on the
|
|
|
+https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch[Github project page].
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Community contributed:: This category identifies plugins that are external to
|
|
|
+the Elasticsearch project. They are provided by individual developers or private
|
|
|
+companies and have their own licenses as well as their own versioning system.
|
|
|
+Issues and bug reports can usually be reported on the community plugin's web site.
