LogStash 5.X Windows service creation

Elastic has changed the command line arguments of logstash. To create a new logstash 5 windows service you have to follow these steps -

$logstash_install_location represents the location of Logstash folder.
logstash is the service name
browse the $logstash_install_location folder and create two folders conf and logs
conf contains all configuration files of logstash. you dont have to change a single file, you can keep as many files you want. such as one for windows logs conf , one for java logs

Open command prompt and locate the folder where NSSM exe file is put. then issue the following commands one after another.

nssm install logstash $logstash_install_location\bin\logstash.bat
nssm set logstash AppParameters --path.config $logstash_install_location\conf
nssm set logstash AppDirectory $logstash_install_location\
nssm set logstash AppStdout $logstash_install_location\logs\sysout.log
nssm set logstash AppStderr $logstash_install_location\logs\syserr.log
nssm set logstash AppStdoutCreationDisposition 2 
nssm set logstash AppStderrCreationDisposition 2 
nssm set logstash AppStopMethodSkip 6

start the windows service and install chrome plug-in of POSTMAN.
Issue the following http methods 
http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v

It will show you if any index is created or not.

JPA Vs SpringJDBC

Recently I conducted many interviews for my employer, one 8-9 yrs exp candidate asked me what data access object layer do we use in our project. I was thinking a bit as , like they do with persistence - polyglot persistence, we maintain different DAO technologies - JPA, proprietary JDBC, JDO, Spring JDBC. you cannot say which one is the best. It depends on the context but definitely having so many things for performing dataaccess is not advisable. In this topic I will try to explore the JPA and Spring JDBC. Spring is a life savior, it's template concept reduces the boilerplate code but still the jdbc template comes with baggages - row mapper, SQL, parameters etc. If you have good knowledge of database schema, you want to execute stored procedure, you want more handle on your code to access the db. Then go for Spring, you can debug easily and have control on your DTO. If you need to abstract away the SQL, hide complexity, write less code, dont need to execute the stored proced...
