Hi, I would like to know if there is any Java API or code to dispatch/route a (REST)request coming on a generic node to the active master node. I have a REST plugin getting the requests in different cluster nodes, but I'd like to dispatch all the requests to the master node if exists and having only the master node processing and answering them. Is this feasible within an elasticsearch plugin? Thanks kind regards Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, You accept the REST request on any node, and create a subclass of a MasterNodeOperationRequest in your rest handler, which is then automatically send only to the master. Hope this helps for a start. If this is feasible highly depends on your usecase, if it makes send to have this additional roundtrip and overloading on your master node... --Alex On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Marc [ciarcia.marco@gmail.com](mailto:ciarcia.marco@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > I would like to know if there is any Java API or code to dispatch/route a > (REST)request coming on a generic node to the active master node. > > I have a REST plugin getting the requests in different cluster nodes, but > I'd like to dispatch all the requests to the master node if exists and > having only the master node processing and answering them.
