Problem with the nodes of ElasticSeach

[alvaro-lopezgarcia]

Hi Arey, My name is Alvaro and I am a 23 years old student from Madrid who has just finished a Telecommunications Engineering degree. I am writing to you because now during the summer I am working in a project trying to develop MusicBrainz and Discogs databases in Elastic Search to learn about ES, where I am a beginner. To index MusicBrainz I am following your tutorial, however now I had a problem that I did not know how to solve in several days. I hope that you can help me, I will be so grateful. I followed the tutorial working with Docker and Compose, and the first part of this (the docker part) I think that worked fine. The problem appears in the Quick Start part. After do "mvn install", the next command: mvn exec:java return the next error:

ERROR org.springframework.batch.core.step.AbstractStep [229] - Encountered an error executing step deleteIndexIfExists in job musicAlbumJob org.elasticsearch.client.transport.NoNodeAvailableException: None of the configured nodes are available: [] at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService.ensureNodesAreAvailable(TransportClientNodesService.java:305) ~[elasticsearch-1.7.1.jar:na] at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService.execute(TransportClientNodesService.java:200) ~[elasticsearch-1.7.1.jar:na] at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.support.InternalTransportIndicesAdminClient.execute(InternalTransportIndicesAdminClient.java:86) ~[elasticsearch-1.7.1.jar:na]

I think that it should be a problem with Elasticsearch but I dont know what. I have another version of it more recent (maybe it cause trouble but I dont think so). Do you know how can I fix that? Thanks a lot for your time and for this project which is very cool. I wait for your answer soon. Alvaro.

Hi @alvaro-lopezgarcia. Elasticsearch regularly changes its API. The version used by this project is an older one: 1.7.1 Regarding to this blog post https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/transport-client.html, the TransportClient will be removed from ES 8 and is deprecated since ES 7. It could explains. Which version of ES are you using? I'm worried about my base code is using a too older version of the ES API.

Hello @arey, thanks for answering I am very grateful. The version of elastic that I used to work was 6.2, but this project didn't work in that version for me so I installed version 1.7.1 which is very old but works for this project. I have resolved the problem that I explained you, I have got to change in the file es-musicbrainz-batch.properties the elasticsearch and postgres addresses to localhost (127.0.0.1) and it resolved the trouble. However, now a new error appears to me in the step IndexMusicAlbum because reading the dates appears an unskippable exception beacause of the gender of the artist. I haven't got any idea of how to resolve it. It doesn't seems to be a configuration problem but I don't really know. I copy here the logs for if you could explain me more about it and maybe how to fix it...

Thanks a lot again for your time!

The exception cause show that the MusicBrainz database has introduced a new gender : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unrecognized artist gender: 4 The last version of the musicbrainz-data artefactId does not reference it: https://github.com/lastfm/musicbrainz-data/blob/master/src/main/java/fm/last/musicbrainz/data/model/Gender.java We have to found the corresponding label of the ID number 4, then submit a PR to musicbrainz-data. By waiting, you could copy/paste the class and use this temporary copy. You may also configure the Spring Batch job to skip the IllegalArgumentException (with the <skippable-exception-classes> tag) See https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/trunk/reference/html/configureStep.html for more details
