Reindex from remote error: Could not resolve host

[pradla (Prad)]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade elasticsearch 1.4.4 to 6.5.0. Below are the steps I followed:

• Started a new 6.5.0 cluster in addition to existing 1.4.4
• configured it to run with logstash 6.5.0 and it is running well.

I am getting an error when trying to reindex from remote:

curl -X POST “127.0.0.1:9201/_reindex?pretty=true” -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"conflicts": "proceed",
"source": {
"remote": {
"host": “http://localhost:9200"
},
"index": "my_new_twitter_river"
},
"dest": {
"index": “twittertool2.0”
}
}'

For the above, I am getting the below error:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: “127.0.0.1; Name or service not known

Can anyone help please?

That error is from curl. It looks like it is trying to resolve the host icluding the quotation mark. Are you sending a standard quotation mark or some kind of fancy one? It looks like a left quote or a smart quote from here. Neither of those are good.

@nik9000 Thanks a lot! That indeed was the problem! I typed in the quote this time and the curl error went. Now I have a new error!

curl -X POST "127.0.0.1:9201/_reindex?pretty=true" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"conflicts": "proceed",
"source": {
"remote": {
"host": "https://localhost:9200"
},
"index": "my_new_twitter_river"
},
"dest": {
"index": "twittertool2"
}
}'

{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "connection_closed_exception",
"reason" : "Connection closed"
}
],
"type" : "connection_closed_exception",
"reason" : "Connection closed"
},
"status" : 500
}

Any advise on how to work this out?

Facing another error while trying to reindex from remote:

my reindex code:

curl -X POST "127.0.0.1:9201/_reindex?pretty=true" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"conflicts": "proceed",
"source": {
"remote": {
"host": "http://localhost:9200"
},
"index": "my_new_twitter_river"
},
"dest": {
"index": "twittertool2"
}
}'

Error I am getting:

{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "circuit_breaking_exception",
"reason" : "[parent] Data too large, data for [<http_request>] would be [7430139381/6.9gb], which is larger than the limit of [7345215897/6.8gb], usages [request=0/0b, fielddata=0/0b, in_flight_requests=190/190b, accounting=7430139191/6.9gb]",
"bytes_wanted" : 7430139381,
"bytes_limit" : 7345215897
}
],
"type" : "circuit_breaking_exception",
"reason" : "[parent] Data too large, data for [<http_request>] would be [7430139381/6.9gb], which is larger than the limit of [7345215897/6.8gb], usages [request=0/0b, fielddata=0/0b, in_flight_requests=190/190b, accounting=7430139191/6.9gb]",
"bytes_wanted" : 7430139381,
"bytes_limit" : 7345215897
},
"status" : 503
}

after some search I tried to increase the limit with this

curl -XPUT localhost:9201/_cluster/settings -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"persistent" : {
"indices.breaker.fielddata.limit" : "75%"
}
}'

I got this acknowledgement:

{"acknowledged":true,"persistent":{"indices":{"breaker":{"fielddata":{"limit":"75%"}}}},"transient":{}}

but the error is still not resolved. Can anyone please advise what is going wrong?

just to add - any command I run, I am getting the same error!
