clarification on _pull call #70

Closed taylorfort closed 9 years ago

taylorfort commented 9 years ago

Sorry, but docs and details are a bit unclear.

i have two separate clusters/instances on separate boxes. I want to pull the index from one box to the other.

source:

host: host_a_ip cluster: host_a_cluster_name port: 9200

destination:

host: host_b_ip cluster: host_b_cluster_name port: 9200

1) Does the mapping have to be setup on the destination server before starting the _pull?

2) Is there any other port that needs to be opened on firewall to complete this action?

3) You don't have an example of _pull, so I just used your remote _push example, is this wrong? Are there other parameters for _pull?

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/test/_push?&cluster=remote&host=127.0.0.1&port=9201'

4) Does the plugin have to be installed on both instances to work or only the source of the curl request?

You can not use port 9200, it is port 9300 (internal ES protocol).

  1. No
  2. Maybe. I never tested with firewall settings. Port 9300 should be open - same condition as in any other ES cluster.
  3. No, there are no other parameters.
  4. Knapsack uses transport client and bulk indexing / scan/scroll. It is enough to install it on one node.
