Lucene Snapshot repository

The very first releases of any major version (like a beta), might have been built on top of a Lucene Snapshot version. In such a case you will be unable to resolve the Lucene dependencies of the client.

For example, if you want to use the 6.0.0-beta1 version which depends on Lucene 7.0.0-snapshot-00142c9, you must define the following repository.

For Maven:

<repository>
    <id>elastic-lucene-snapshots</id>
    <name>Elastic Lucene Snapshots</name>
    <url>http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.elasticsearch.org/lucenesnapshots/00142c9</url>
    <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
    <snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>

For Gradle:

maven {
    url 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.elasticsearch.org/lucenesnapshots/00142c9'
}
