I want to scale ES between data centers for use with logstash and tribe node(s) sound like a great solution to this. One problem is that I'm not sure how aliases work across clusters. Here's the general idea. two clusters and an alias index on the tribe cluster. Can you do this? Thanks for your help! tribe node: alias: logstash\_yyyy.mm.dd members: logstash\_datacenter2\_yyyy.mm.dd (es cluster 1) logstash\_datacenter1\_yyyy.mm.dd (es cluster 2) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Can anyone help me or know of a workaround? I've tried creating an alias on a tribe node and I get the following on ES1.0: curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/\_aliases](http://localhost:9200/_aliases)' -d ' > { > "actions" : [ > { "add" : { "index" : "1", "alias" : "alias1" } } > ] > }' > {"error":"MasterNotDiscoveredException[waited for [30s]]","status":503} On Wednesday, February 12, 2014 2:41:26 PM UTC-8, Nelson Jeppesen wrote: > I want to scale ES between data centers for use with logstash and tribe > node(s) sound like a great solution to this.

You can read and write data using the tribe node, but you cannot execute master level write operations. Those are all the operations that modify the cluster state, something that's done only by the master node. As aliases are part of the cluster state, modifying them means modifying the cluster state, which is not possible using the tribe node. This is stated in the docs: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-tribe.html) .
