Hi there, I want to index all English wikipedia pages in my ES, therefore I think it's a convenient way to build the index from wikipedia river. But I‘m a little confused on how to change the default settings when index the wikipedia river. In my understanding, the RESTful api would like as follows: curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_river/my\_river/\_meta -d ' { "type" : "wikipedia", "wikipedia" : { "url" : "[http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121201/enwiki-20121201-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2](http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121201/enwiki-20121201-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2)" } } "index" : { "name" : "wikipedia", "type" : "page", "bulk\_size" : 100, "settings" :{ "index.number\_of\_shards": "10", "index.number\_of\_replicas": "0" } } }’ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I would create index first with settings and then create the river. ## HTH David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 21 mai 2013 à 09:14, Jingang Wang [bitwjg@gmail.com](mailto:bitwjg@gmail.com) a écrit : Hi there, I want to index all English wikipedia pages in my ES, therefore I think it's a convenient way to build the index from wikipedia river.

Hi David, Thanks for your response. Could you give more details？ Do you mean create the \_river index first? Thanks.

I said: create first your index using Create Index API: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-create-index/) You can define here your number of shards and replica. THEN (=after index creation), create your river. curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_river/my\_river/\_meta -d '{ "type" : "wikipedia", "wikipedia" : { "url" : "[http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121201/enwiki-20121201-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2](http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121201/enwiki-20121201-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2)" ``` } ``` }' -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 21 mai 2013 à 09:28, Jingang Wang [bitwjg@gmail.com](mailto:bitwjg@gmail.com) a écrit : Hi David, Thanks for your response.
