I'm using JAVA api for ES. I am creating index with this command: client.prepareIndex("myEventSpecific", "myObject", "myID").setSource("myJsonText").execute().actionGet(); On my home directory, I see "searchdata" folder even I have specified to use "myEventSpecific". So I see both "myEventSpecific" and "searchdata" folders inside my indices folder. Do you know why it creates "searchdata" folder? This is how my folder structure is: 1.myhomeDirectory/data/myEventSpecific/nodes/0/indices/myEventSpecific 2.myhomeDirectory/data/myEventSpecific/nodes/0/indices/searchdata ---

If you delete it, is it recreated? ---

I suspect it is not the code you pasted, but your client. Which client are you creating: a NodeClient or TransportClient? How are you creating the client? Are you setting node.client = true? -- Ivan On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 9:44 AM, samCougars [sbaniya@gmail.com](mailto:sbaniya@gmail.com) wrote: > I'm using JAVA api for ES.

yes, once I delete the folder it still creates searchData folder... ---

I'm creating a Node Client. First I create a node then get the client from node as follows: Client client = null; try{ ImmutableSettings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder(); String eventSpecific = "myEventSpecific"; settings.put("path.home",System.getProperty("user.home")+"/elasticSearch"+eventSpecific); settings.put("number\_of\_shards",1); settings.put("number\_of\_replicas",0); indexCreatingNode = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).clusterName(eventSpecific).node(); ``` // start a node indexCreatingNode.start(); // INDEX my required fields // once all my fields are indexed then client = indexCreatingNode.client(); client.admin().cluster().prepareHealth().setWaitForYellowStatus().execute().actionGet(); ``` } catch (Exception ex) { log.error(ex); } finally { if (client != null) client.close(); if (indexCreatingNode != null) { indexCreatingNode.stop(); indexCreatingNode.close(); } } ---

I just ran this code, and all I get is an empty dir: $HOME/elasticSearchmyEventSpecific/data/myEventSpecific/nodes/0.
