Bug#807596: elasticsearch: Unable to manage plugins because of org.elasticsearch.env.FailedToResolveConfigException

[Michael Fladischer]

Package: elasticsearch
Version: 1.7.3+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

trying to manage plugins for elasticsearch only yields excpetions from the
bin/plugin tool:

$ sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin list
Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.env.FailedToResolveConfigException: Failed to resolve config path ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], tried file path ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], path file ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/config"/"/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml"], and classpath
        at org.elasticsearch.env.Environment.resolveConfig(Environment.java:291)
        at org.elasticsearch.node.internal.InternalSettingsPreparer.prepareSettings(InternalSettingsPreparer.java:95)
        at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginManager.main(PluginManager.java:396)

The configuration file also seems to be in the wrong location (/usr) while the elastichsearch daemon uses the one from /etc.
