Can I update analyzer settings without recreating the index?

I am looking at using a hosted ES service (Bonsai.io) which offers an
index per customer, pre-created. Usually I create a config file
containing my custom analyzers and send this when creating an index,
however because Bonsai provide the index already, this method will not
work.

I've read the docs for the Updating Settings API for an index but it
seems only certain settings can be modified this way, and not
analyzers.

What are my options here? I've not heard of a way to update index
custom analyzers without recreating an index, but perhaps I've missed
something somewhere! Can I send custom analyzer config another way?

You can't change analyzer config on a "live" index using update settings,
you can though close the index, send an update settings with the new
analysis settings, and then open it back, though I am not sure of
close/open are allowed in bonsai...

Hi Shay,

Just to be sure to understand this.

If we want to merge settings (replication), we should (must ?) not close the
index before sending an update settings.

But if we want to add a new analyzer, we must close the index before.

Is that it ?

I tried this in Java :

         // Before merging, we have to close the index

         CloseIndexRequestBuilder cirb =

client.admin().indices().prepareClose(index);

         CloseIndexResponse closeIndexResponse =

cirb.execute().actionGet();

         if (!closeIndexResponse.acknowledged()) throw new

Exception("Could not close index ["+index+"].");

         UpdateSettingsRequestBuilder usrb =

client.admin().indices().prepareUpdateSettings(index);

         // If there are settings for this index, we use it. If not,

using Elasticsearch defaults.

         String source = readIndexSettings(index);

         if (source != null) {

                if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) logger.trace("Found

settings for index "+index+" : " + source);

                usrb.setSettings(source);

         }

         

         usrb.execute().actionGet();

But it failed at the last line with a
org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexMissingException: [twitter] missing

If I remove the closeIndex lines, I don’t get the exception but I get the
following warning :

22:56:48,843 WARN [metadata] [junit.node.transport] [twitter] ignoring non
dynamic index level settings for open indices:
[index.analysis.analyzer.type]

How to close an index and update settings in java ?

Thanks

David.

As of today, all PUT and POST actions to the /index handler on Bonsai are
restricted. But that's probably just for the beta as we continue to work
our way through the various system- and user-facing stories and whitelist
what's appropriate. (E.g., changing number of replicas should be
restricted, changing the mapping should not.)

Shay, I'm going to send you an overdue ping off-list about our little
project :slight_smile:

Hi Shay,

I think I understood where the error came from:

I cannot update number of replicas on a closed index.

So some properties have to be updated on a closed index and others on a live
index.

My use case is for the Spring factory.

I want to update settings but I don’t know what settings will set the user.

Is there a way to analyze the settings json file and split it in two
settings files : one to be applied live and another to be applied closed ?

Do you have any class or method in ES that I can use for that ?

Or do I have to parse all the properties to find if one of them is in this
list :
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-update-settin
gs.html so it has to be applied on a live index ?

Is there any reason that you can’t apply all properties on a closed index ?
Should I raise an issue ?

Thanks

David.

Yea, only the list mentioned in the update settings can be applied
dynamically, while other settings can be applied on a closed index. The
number of replicas can be updated on a live index though...

You can't change analyzer config on a "live" index using update settings,
you can though close the index, send an update settings with the new
analysis settings, and then open it back, though I am not sure of
close/open are allowed in bonsai...

Heya,

So why did my update of "number of replicas" on the closed index fails with
that error ?
Caused by: org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexMissingException: [twitter]
missing
at
org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.RoutingTable$Builder.updateNumberOfReplicas(RoutingTable.java:314)

It should work on a closed index as you wrote. Is it a bug or am I doing
something weird ?

David.

You can update any setting on a closed index, there ins't a restriction
there.

My other question is : can I find somewhere in ES source code a method
that
I can use to parse (precheck) settings on my side before trying to push to
ES settings that couldn't be applied ?

There isn't really... . Its spread in each component that reads its own
relevant setting.

Hi Shay,

I think I understood where the error came from:
Error while updating settings on a closed index · GitHub https://gist.github.com/2278029

I cannot update number of replicas on a closed index.

So some properties have to be updated on a closed index and others on a
live index.

My use case is for the Spring factory.

I want to update settings but I don’t know what settings will set the
user.

Is there a way to analyze the settings json file and split it in two
settings files : one to be applied live and another to be applied closed
?

Do you have any class or method in ES that I can use for that ?

Or do I have to parse all the properties to find if one of them is in
this
list :
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-update-settings.html
so it has to be applied on a live index ?

Is there any reason that you can’t apply all properties on a closed
index ?
Should I raise an issue ?

Thanks

David.

Hi Shay,

Just to be sure to understand this.

If we want to merge settings (replication), we should (must ?) not close
the index before sending an update settings.

But if we want to add a new analyzer, we must close the index before.

Is that it ?

I tried this in Java :

         // Before merging, we have to close the index

         CloseIndexRequestBuilder cirb = client

.admin().indices().prepareClose(index);

         CloseIndexResponse closeIndexResponse =

cirb.execute().actionGet();

         if (!closeIndexResponse.acknowledged()) throw new

Exception(
"Could not close index [" +index+ "]." );

         UpdateSettingsRequestBuilder usrb = client

.admin().indices().prepareUpdateSettings(index);

         // If there are settings for this index, we use it. If not,

using Elasticsearch defaults.

         String source = readIndexSettings(index);

         if (source != null ) {

                if ( logger .isTraceEnabled()) logger .trace( "Found

settings for index " +index+ " : " + source);

                usrb.setSettings(source);

         }



         usrb.execute().actionGet();

But it failed at the last line with a
org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexMissingException: [twitter] missing

If I remove the closeIndex lines, I don’t get the exception but I get
the
following warning :

It might just be the number of replicas setting, where it should handle
things better in case of a closed index. All other settings should work.
Open an issue for the number of replica settings update problem on a closed
