I am trying to get the node info for a specific node. I have access to the java "Node" object for the node I want, but it appears the only way I can get info is via a NodeInfoRequest to the client. A NodeInfoRequest targets all nodes or the node id's specified. Is there a way for me to get the node id of a Node object or a NodeInfoResponse from a specific node object? -- Matt Weber Sent with Sparrow ([http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig](http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)) -- ---

I think I figured it out… is this the best approach? String nodeId = ((InternalNode) node).injector().getInstance(ClusterService.class).state().nodes().localNodeId(); client.admin().cluster().nodesInfo(new NodesInfoRequest(nodeId)).actionGet() -- Matt Weber Sent with Sparrow ([http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig](http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)) On Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 12:59 PM, Matt Weber wrote: > I am trying to get the node info for a specific node.

Use \_local as the node id, it will give you the details of the local node.
