Hi I configured gateway using elastic Java API with following settings: Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder() .put("index.number\_of\_shards",1) .put("gateway.type","fs") .put("gateway.fs.location","c:/ gateway") .build(); Node node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).node(); and gateway snapshort with following settings: GatewaySnapshotRequest gsr=new GatewaySnapshotRequest("test"); node.client().admin().indices().gatewaySnapshot(gsr).actionGet(); but gateway is created when i shutdown the server and it consists following (\_\_0,\_\_1,\_\_2,commit-0,commit-1,snapshot.lock) files. and how can i check that my gateway is working? Thanks ---

If you shutdown the node, and start it back it and it has all the data, then its working. Any reason you are not using the default local gateway?

Thanks for reply and focusing me on local gateway.the main theme of using gateway is storing index permanently in file system. "Local gateway allowing for zero conf persistent storage (the default)" please clear above line and where recovery files are created which is using local gateway to recover states.when i try to configured local gateway with following settings : Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder() .put("gateway.type","local") .put("gateway.recover\_after\_nodes", 1) .put("gateway.recover\_after\_time","1m") .put("index.gateway.snapshot\_interval","10s") .build(); ``` Node node = ``` NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).node(); I got following error: Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.cluster.block.ClusterBlockException: blocked by: [1/ not recovered from gateway]; at org.elasticsearch.cluster.block.ClusterBlocks.indexBlockedRaiseException(ClusterBlocks.java: 112) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.TransportCreateIndexAction.checkBlock(TransportCreateIndexAction.java: 65) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.TransportCreateIndexAction.checkBlock(TransportCreateIndexAction.java: 42) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.master.TransportMasterNodeOperationAction $1.run(TransportMasterNodeOperationAction.java:91) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Java Result: 1 Please point out where i am wrong?

First, snapshot operation is not relevant when using the local gateway. Second, on what operation does this happen? When a node starts, it does the recovery phase from the gateway in the background, you can use the cluster health api to wait till its done. A simple test just to check if things work, you can add a sleep of, lets say, 1 second, after the node starts up and see if things work for you.
