The elasticsearch cookbook was recently rewritten to use LWRP/HWRP/Custom Resources. Your implementation will need to be tweeked to work with the new cookbook.
To answer your question; node attributes are just a hash node['elasticsearch']['default']
, you can pass the entire thing into the resource like so
elasticsearch_configure 'whatever' do
configuration ( node['elasticsearch']['default'] )
action :manage
notifies :restart, 'elasticsearch_service[elasticsearch]'
end
Might help clarify things to see that the following are all different ways to represent a hash.
Inside a recipe
default['elasticsearch']['default']['LOG_DIR'] = '/var/log/elasticsearch'
default['elasticsearch']['default']['DATA_DIR'] = '/var/lib/elasticsearch'
...
Alternative syntax inside recipe
default[:elasticsearch][:default][:LOG_DIR] = '/var/log/elasticsearch'
default[:elasticsearch][:default][:DATA_DIR] = '/var/lib/elasticsearch'
And another alternative syntax inside recipe
default.elasticsearch.default.LOG_DIR = '/var/log/elasticsearch'
default.elasticsearch.default.DATA_DIR = '/var/lib/elasticsearch'
Inside a role
{
"chef_type": "role",
"default_attributes": {
"elasticsearch": {
"default": {
"LOG_DIR": "/var/log/elasticsearch",
"DATA_DIR": "/var/lib/elasticsearch"
}
}
}
}
Since everything is a hash, and the config() resource takes a hash as a parameter, just pass the hash in as is.
