I am setuping a new cluster on AWS and an looking at using the S3 gateway, but in the logs I saw: [gateway.s3] [Red Ghost] shared gateway has been deprecated, please use the (default) local gateway Is the S3 gateway been deprecated? I did not see any note to such in the documentation ([http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/gateway/s3.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/gateway/s3.html)). If so why? Thanks! -- ---

It is indeed deprecated: > > > Shared gateways (shared FS storage or S3 for example) are problematic performanc…e wise since they constantly need to snapshot the state of the index to a shared location, and then use that as the system of record. The local gateway on the other hand doesn't need it, and performs much better. > > The main benefit of a shared gateway is the fact that the data is actually stored on another persistent location (i.e. using ephemeral disks on AWS, but still having the data on s3), but then its actually abusing the shared gateway design (to be used as a backup). > > In the near future, we will have a proper snapshot(backup)/restore API, which will be the proper way to do backups, but relaying on the shared gateway for that is problematic. Note, backups can still be made by "rsync" the data location for each node "manually".

Is there a new version of S3 storing solution: I am working with elasticsearch 1.1.1 RPM package and I am trying to connect to S3 bucket, but the error is the same, and am getting another log error : 1.
