Elastic search LTR plugin install


Elastic search plugin LTR install is first plugin i have installed for elastic. I had trouble to install it on Windows. So ill share exact steps to take so you could not waste time.

About LTR plugin

The Elasticsearch Learning to Rank plugin uses machine learning to improve search relevance ranking. It's powering search at places like Wikimedia Foundation and Snagajob!
  • Allows you to store features (Elasticsearch query templates) in Elasticsearch
  • Logs features scores (relevance scores) to create a training set for offline model development
  • Stores linear, xgboost, or ranklib ranking models in Elasticsearch that use features you've stored
  • Ranks search results using a stored model
  • Important

    * LTR plugin is build to exact Elastic version. For example: "ltr-1.1.0-es6.4.1.zip" is build for 6.4.1 elastic version. So first make sure you find correct versions.

    1. Renew elastic if required for versions to match

    3. Open cmd.exe ( command prompt )
    4. Go to for example "C:\Elastic\6.4.1\bin"
    5. Run "elasticsearch-plugin.bat install file:///c:/Elastic/6.4.0/ltr-1.1.0-es6.4.1.zip" . Make sure you write 'file:///' before path. Else you might get error like "Exception in thread "main" java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c".
    6. Done.
