Exception with index.store.type: memory

Hello,
I run on a single local machine.
This is the elasticsearch.yml:
cluster.name: ridvansg
index :
store:
type: memory

When I start I get the followin exception, probably I miss something
in my configuration?

[2011-08-31 14:18:03,212][WARN ][indices.cluster ] [Jaren]

Without the index.store.type: memory setting the ES 17.4 works fine.

Hm now I have this exception even after removing the
"index.store.type: memory" setting.

This is how I did it:

  1. load 600k small documents - worked fine at the end.
  2. Add filter.cache(true) to each filter. - worked fine
  3. add index.store.type: memory - exceptions in the elasticsearch log
    file.
  4. remove index.store.type: memory - still exceptions in the
    elasticsearch log file. The ES doesn't start anymore.

I forgot to mention that I restart ES by first kill'ing it. Probably
not the best way?

If you use index.store.type set to memory (which has some problems in the
implementation that I have not tracked yet), then using local gateway (the
default) will not work. Once you create an index with settings, they are set
to those settings, so if you kill elasticsearch and start it again (with
local gateway), you will get failures. If you want a clean elasticsearch
instance, delete teh data dir.

I suggest you use the file system based one, and if you want extra guice,
use the mmapfs option.
