Elasticsearch Remote Access

This is a problem with elasticsearch 5.x, when one binds an address different than localhost to the server, it is switched to production mode which may not work easily due to some checks. Therefore, the easiest way is to tunnel the connection to the hosting server and forword the port requests. This can be achieved by calling

ssh -f <server> -L <serverPort>:localhost:<localPort> -N

for instant if it is hosted on sedna

ssh -f sedna.mpi-inf.mpg.de -L 9200:localhost:9200 -N

Configuration

file src/main/resources/factchecking.properties can be used to configure the spotting. TODO: add description for the configuration parameters
