Is elastic search component bundled in Bitbucket Data center?

Question

As per Atlassian bitbucket documentation, Elastic search component is not bundled with the Bitbucket data center.

I have installed bitbucket data center 6.6.2 on linux server  and can see elastic search bundled in the package

Can you please confirm on the above

Hi Christian,

While installing bitbucket data center node, i got Elasticsearch bundled. So can i use the bundled one or should we have separate node for Elasticsearch installation?

Thanks,

Tanvi

Hi Christian,

While running installer, i have selected Bitbucket data center and still Elasticsearch is bundled into Bitbucket.

What is the difference in using bundled elastic search and using remote elastic search installed on another node.

Thanks,

Tanvi

Hi Tanvi,

If you got the bundled Elasticsearch installed along with Bitbucket Server, you probably didn't select to install a Bitbucket Data Center node when you ran the installer - or you may have just used the .tar.gz file instead.

You should never install the shared Elasticsearch instance on a Bitbucket Data Center node - this should really be on a separate central node. For hardware and software requirements, please check with the vendor of Elasticsearch, Elastic.

Cheers,
