Copy index from production to development instance

I should also point out that I had to edit a file in the metadata-snapshot
file to change around the s3 keys and bucket name to match what development
was expecting.

Hi all,

I want to do a one time copy of the data on my production Elasticsearch
instance to my development Elasticsearch instance. Both are managed by AWS
if that makes this easier. Here is what I tried:

On production:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository' -d '{
"type": "s3",
"settings": {
"access_key": "productionAccessKey",
"bucket": "productionBucketName",
"region": "region",
"secret_key": "productionSecretKey"
}
}'
curl -XPUT "
http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository/snapshot_2014_06_02"

What this does is upload the instance to a production level s3 bucket.

Then in the aws console, I copy all of it to a development level s3 bucket.

Next on development:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository' -d '{
"type": "s3",
"settings": {
"access_key": "developmentAccessKey",
"bucket": "developmentBucketName",
"region": "region",
"secret_key": "developmentSecretKey"
}
}'
curl -XPOST "
http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository/snapshot_2014_06_02/_restore
"

This gives me the following message:

$ curl -XPOST "
http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_s3_repository/snapshot_2014_06_02/_restore?pretty=true
"
{
"error" : "SnapshotException[[my_s3_repository:snapshot_2014_06_02]
failed to get snapshots]; nested: IOException[Failed to get
[snapshot-snapshot_2014_06_02]]; nested: AmazonS3Exception[Status Code:
404, AWS Service: Amazon S3, AWS Request ID: RequestId, AWS Error Code:
NoSuchKey, AWS Error Message: The specified key does not exist.]; ",
"status" : 500
}

Also, when I try to get the snapshots, I get the following:

$ curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_snapshot/_status?pretty=true"
{
"snapshots" :
}

This leads me to believe that I am not connecting the snapshot correctly
but I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly. Regenerating the index on
development is not really a possibility as it took a few months to generate
the index the first time around. If there is a better way to do this, I'm
all for it.

Thanks,

Brian Lamb
