Elasticsearch: Support Backblaze B2 for Snapshot/Restore

Created on 2 Nov 2016 · 9Comments · Source: elastic/elasticsearch

Describe the feature:

B2 is a competitor to S3, Google, Azure, RS, etc cloud storage offerings. It would be great to offer this in addition to backing up to s3 buckets

Backblaze is 1/4 the cost of AWS, has a reliable reputation; this could be a popular plugin; we'd use it.

Hi @OverlordQ

This is the first time I've heard of B2. It is unlikely that we will add support for it unless we get a lot more requests. I'll leave this issue open for people to record their support.

We would certainly make use of it as well.

We would definitely use this.

It's, like, 3-4 times cheaper than S3.

We talked about this with @ywelsch today and we both think that Backblaze B2 support for snapshot/restore could be implemented as community plugin. So we prefer to close this issue as a clear indication that we are not going to work on it at this time. If anyone would like to implement this, we will be glad to provide help or assistance if needed.

Nilay from Backblaze here. We are getting a lot of requests for a plugin to elastic search that supports B2 object storage. As we have a B2 Java SDK, we believe the work won't be terribly hard.

Is there somewhere I can go to read more about implementing a community plugin?

Is there someone on this issue that would be interested in working on such a project, under our sponsorship? If so, drop a line to our Contact Sales page and mention my name.
