Every shard showing up in /_cat/recovery

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is it right that all my shards are showing up in /_cat/recovery?

It looks like every one of them is marked "done". It is cool to be able to
see the last replication, as well as the relatively huge cost of relocation
while writing but it isn't what I expected reading the docs.

Example:
enwiki_general_1395839834 18 1796552 relocation done
elastic1003 elastic1015 n/a n/a 399 100.0% 9361018254
205630.5%

Elasticsearch 1.1.0, btw.

Nik,

Sorry for the confusion. The recovery API is meant to show the most recent recovery for each shard, as well as active recoveries. I'll see if we can improve the documentation around this.

To see only active, on-going recoveries, use the active_only flag. For example: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/recovery?active_only=true&v'. Additionally, it's possible to get file-level recovery detail by using the JSON version of the recovery API [1]. Try hitting this in your browser: http://localhost:9200/_recovery?pretty=true&human=true&detailed=true&active_only=true.

Cheers,
Andrew
