ESRALLY : CREATE/DELETE operations fail 100% everytime

mots · August 1, 2021, 7:14pm

I have created a custom track with 2 documents just to debug this use case. I am running this on a remote target index deployed on AWS.

I am trying to debug why my create/delete operations always fail with 100%. I cannot seem to find the root cause. I can perform bulk, cluster-health and search operations as intended, only the create/delete operations that are failing.

concerned track operations -

  "indices": [
    {
      "name": "esrally-2-documents",
      "body": "esrally-2-documents.json"
    }
  ],
.......
"schedule": [
    {
      "operation" : {
        "name": "delete-esrally-2-documents",
        "operation-type": "delete-index",
        "index": "esrally-2-documents"
      }
    },
    {
      "operation": {
        "name": "create-esrally-2-documents",
        "operation-type": "create-index",
        "settings": {
        "index.number_of_shards": 1
        }
      }
    }, ...

Error I am getting when running rally inside docker with --on-error=abort flag.

So far I think it has to do with some security setting on the cluster but I am certain I have given all the required access to the client.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi,

actually, only the delete-index task should fail; create-index should work fine. I think the reason why the call is failing is that the AWS Elasticsearch service prohibits calling the _cluster/settings API. See Ensure destructive actions work regardless of wildcard input by DJRickyB · Pull Request #1243 · elastic/rally · GitHub for the reason why Rally is calling that API at all when deleting indices.

A pragmatic workaround in your case (you only have one index), is to use Rally's raw-request. If you replace:

{
      "operation" : {
        "name": "delete-esrally-2-documents",
        "operation-type": "delete-index",
        "index": "esrally-2-documents"
      }
}

with:

{
  "operation" : {
    "name": "delete-esrally-2-documents",
    "operation-type": "raw-request",
    "method": "DELETE",
    "path": "/esrally-2-documents"
  }
}

I did not test this locally but after this change the index should be deleted as expected.

Hope that helps.

Daniel
