Hi, this is a plugin which wraps some 'reindex' functionality and executes this on the server-side. This could be useful - if you want to change some index settings which are not updatable (like shard count etc =\> reindexing into a new index) - or if you want to change some type settings (reindexing into the same index) - or if you want to copy/update only specific data into another index =\> therefor you can specify a query (default is match\_all) > **[karussell/elasticsearch-reindex](https://github.com/karussell/elasticsearch-reindex)** > > elasticsearch-reindex - Simple re-indexing.

Hey David, yes, \_source cannot be disabled and also it only works in the same cluster. But as one could use the code in a pure java application (like I was doing before) or in a river (like you are proposing in the issue) one can then reindex into a different cluster too.

Oh yes ! I will fork it 😉 My only concern with the river is that nodes could be incompatible from a cluster to another one. That's one of the reason I did not digg into before. But now, there are some pure REST interfaces and I probaly can use JEST [1] for example to fetch content from another cluster (I did not check if scan & scroll API is available from JEST). Also, it's perhaps a nonsense to consider it as a river and not as an administrative tool (as you said : in a pure java application).

Oh. Thanks I was not aware of it. So I assume that I have to use my own pure REST implementation (with SPORE specification [1]) - but scan & scroll is not written yet. So I have to wait for... What ? For myself ? WTF 😉 This way I won't be elasticsearch jar dependent.

is there a Java implementation for SPORE? Also the GET request(s) for scroll should be very simple to be 'hacked' together via a simple JSONObject + Apache client ... but do you know if it is easy to add those dependencies when writing a plugin? Or is it some maven magic where I use the the full "dependencies-jar"? Regards, Peter. On Tuesday, November 27, 2012 4:54:40 PM UTC+1, David Pilato wrote: > Oh.

Yes. Not released yet but it will be: [GitHub - nicoo/jspore: java implementation of SPORE](https://github.com/nicoo/jspore) It's the one I use for my JUnit tests.

Hi David, I've implemented the external cluster thing (for simplicity just with JSONObject and HttpClient, not sure if it is ok regarding performance/IO). So if you specify searchHost then this more expensive variation will be used. The cool thing is that I can now grab data from production servers into my local box 🙂 (when making the port public for this short time). I also introduced a waitInSeconds parameter to avoid high load. Warning: the call is not yet async and stopable etc (except you shutdown the server) ... probably I should move to the river stuff ... or I'll leave this task for the reader 😉 Regards, Peter.

Hi, @peter We were about to discuss to implement something similar, thanks for it 🙂 I will start to play with it as well. @both Jest using ES for query builder, just opened an issue to make it optional. scroll api is not yet availble.
