Hi together I'm working on an elasticsearch server stub for python using a startup via python subprocess. Everything is working fine except the es.path.conf property. It seems that the -Des.path.conf= is not working on a windows system. I was testing with windows and nix config path e.g. \ and /. I'm trying to use a plain ES download/unzip and pointing to an external config folder which contains some mappings. The default config folder inside the donwload/unzip is still there. I was reading in some mailinglists that there is/was an issue with append/merge config from different locations, but what happens to mapping definiteions locate in config/mappings in such a configuration? Is this an issue? Regards Roger Ineichen * * * END OF MESSAGE ---

The -D parameter does not work on windows, only on \*nix systems.

But, you can pass those in ES\_JAVA\_OPTS env var.

Hi Shay > Betreff: Re: -Des.path.conf issue? > > The -D parameter does not work on windows, only on \*nix systems. Thanks for the quick response! But now I'm confused. The bin/elasticsearch.bat script defines the following start parameter: * * * set ES\_CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%ES\_HOME%/lib/elasticsearch-@ES\_VERSION@.jar;%ES\_HO ME%/lib/_;%ES\_HOME%/lib/sigar/_ set ES\_PARAMS=-Delasticsearch -Des-foreground=yes -Des.path.home="%ES\_HOME%" ## "%JAVA\_HOME%\bin\java" %JAVA\_OPTS% %ES\_JAVA\_OPTS% %ES\_PARAMS% -cp "%ES\_CLASSPATH%" "org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch" This means a -D parameter is used e.g. -Des.path.home="%ES\_HOME%" Is this working or not? Is only the -Des.path.conf not working?

Using: elasticsearch.bat -Des.... will not work, since it only get parsed in the elasticsearch.sh file. For windows, I see that I did not add the option to add ES\_JAVA\_OPTS.

I'm confused in the same way, I've been using this batch script to run on Windows, and it works just fine when I use the -Des.\* parameters on the command line. I've also been able to get it to work on the command-line in Azure, when dynamically mounting drives for data and logs. This most definitely _does_ work on Windows machines. - Nick -----Original Message----- From: Roger [[mailto:dev@projekt01.ch](mailto:dev@projekt01.ch)] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 7:32 AM To: [users@elasticsearch.com](mailto:users@elasticsearch.com) Subject: AW: -Des.path.conf issue?

I am talking about executing the shell in this manner: > elasticsearch.bat -Des.path.conf=path/to/conf This does not work. You can set the -D parameters in the ES\_JAVA\_OPS env var.

Hi Shay, Nick Sorry I was a littlebit unclear in my initial mail. I'm not using the \*.bat script. I'm developing a python doctest stub server lib which starts the ES server from a python subproces. This lib allows to configure the ES server. I'm not able to set the path.conf in any way. My code looks something like right now: * * * ``` # setup java options and friends libPath = os.path.join(server, 'lib') sigarPath = os.path.join(libPath, 'sigar') jarPath = os.path.join(libPath, 'elasticsearch-0.15.2.jar') JAVA_HOME = os.environ['JAVA_HOME'] JAVA_BIN = os.path.join(JAVA_HOME, 'bin', 'java') ES_JAVA_OPTS = '-Delasticsearch' ES_JAVA_OPTS += ' -Des-foreground=yes' ES_JAVA_OPTS += ' -Des.path.home="%s"' % server ES_JAVA_OPTS += ' -Des.path.conf="%s"' % config ES_JAVA_OPTS += ' -Des.path.logs="%s"' % logs CLASSPATH = os.environ['CLASSPATH'] ES_CLASSPATH = "%s;%s/*;%s/*;%s" % (jarPath, libPath, sigarPath, CLASSPATH) env = dict(os.environ) env['ES_JAVA_OPTS'] = ES_JAVA_OPTS env['ES_CLASSPATH'] = ES_CLASSPATH cmd = [JAVA_BIN, "-Xms128m", "-Xmx128m", "-Djline.enabled=false", "-XX:+AggressiveOpts", "-XX:+UseParNewGC", "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC", "-XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled", "-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError", ES_JAVA_OPTS, "-cp", ES_CLASSPATH, "org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap"] # start the elasticsearch stub server try: p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=False, env=env) except Exception, e: raise Exception("Subprocess error: %s" % e) ``` * * * Regards Roger Ineichen > Betreff: Re: AW: -Des.path.conf issue? > > Sorry, ES\_JAVA\_OPTS is there in teh script > > On Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 2:41 PM, Shay Banon wrote: > > Using: elasticsearch.bat -Des.... will not work, since > it only get parsed in the elasticsearch.sh file. > > For windows, I see that I did not add the option to add > ES\_JAVA\_OPTS.

If you fork the Java process, then you need to pass each -D option by itself, the same way you pass -Xmx, -Xms, and so on (your cmd var). Also, remove the AgressiveOpts from there, I am updating the batch script to not include it as well.

Oh, yeah, that definitely does not work. However, it’s easy enough to patch the batch file to take in the first parameter and then attach that to the end of the parameter list that is used to run ES. - Nick From: Shay Banon [[mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 9:03 AM To: [users@elasticsearch.com](mailto:users@elasticsearch.com) Subject: Re: RE: -Des.path.conf issue?

hi Shay, Nick You are right I need a list of -D options in the cmd.

Thats great!, does it make sense to integrate it with pyes maybe? Something like a test module in pyes (I think there is one now in Elasticsearch.pm).
