Hi,

I tried setting up ES using the fs gateway with this .json  
configuration:

{  
"cluster" : {  
"name" : "Elastic"  
},  
"index" : {  
"gateway" : {  
type: "fs",  
"fs": {  
snapshot\_interval: "30s",  
location: "/home/elastic/store/"  
}  
}  
}  
}

However, whenever I try to store anything it errors out with:

[WARN][index.gateway.fs] [Albino] [test] index gateway is  
configured, but no cluster level gateway configured, cluster level  
metadata will be lost on full shutdown

What am I missing?

I tried it both in a single-node configuration and having two nodes  
running in a mini-cluster.

Try it with this:

{  
"cluster" : {  
"name" : "Elastic"  
},  
"gateway" : {  
type: "fs",  
"fs": {  
snapshot\_interval: "30s",  
location: "/home/elastic/store/"  
}  
}  
}
