Hello,
I need to move my ES cluster to different DC with zero down time.
My Idea was just to add a node on the other DC and when all data is
replicated to there, shut down the original node, and use the new one. I
assume that it will become a master once the original master will go down.
Reading other's experience, I'm getting mixed fillings about all this.
As of now, I'm trying to compile my todo list, one item will be to add a
file to /etc/sysctl.d/ that contained net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 1800 to
keep ES from beaching yellow.
Does anybody has such experience? And could some one point to some possible
problems/solutions related to the subject?
Thanks in advance,
Eugene

My suggestion in this case is pretty simple: test, test and test. If you
setup 2 nodes, for example on Amazon EC2 (low cost, on demand), one filled.
One not started. You start the other one. Wait for it to have replicated.
Shut down the old one. Verify everything is there and working.
Another tip: backup everything on the old node and store it somewhere safe.
Just my 2 cents.
Best regards,
