Setting index.routing.allocation.include.node failure

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,
I've got a 5 node elasticsearch cluster that has 3 machines with a
"node.storage: ssd_fast" and 2 with "node.storage: sata_slow" attributes.
I'd like to write today's index (this is being used for logstash) to the
ssd machines, and then use the slow ones for archiving shards.

Here's the error I"m getting when I try to change the index routing (for
all existing indexes):

curl -XPUT es3:9200/_settings -d '{
"index" : {
"index.routing.allocation.include.node.storage" : "ssd_fast"
}
}'

{"error":"RemoteTransportException[[es3][inet[/10.123.123.103:9300]][indices/settings/update]];
nested: ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[Can't update non dynamic
settings[[index.index.routing.allocation.include.node.storage]] for open
indices[[logstash-sfo1-2014.04.09, logstash-sfo1-2014.04.08, kibana-int]]];
","status":400}k

Any pointers appreciated, thanks.

-Ryan

You need to put that into the elasticsearch.yml and then restart each node.

Ah, to be clear, those attributes are already in the elasticsearch.yml
files on all 5 servers.

Ok, but you can't dynamically update them, you can only ever define them in
the .yml and then restart the service for the value to be changed.

The nodes all have that value in their elasticsearch.yml files, and have
been restarted since then.

I'm getting the error trying to update indexes to store their shards only
on those nodes with the appropriate node.storage value. I was under the
impression that was a basic way to do shard routing, am I mistaken?

I'm definitely late, but your query is wrong. Today I've faced exact the same issue.
It should be:

curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/test/_settings" -d'
{
  "index.routing.allocation.include.indexing": false
}'

or

curl -XPUT "http://dev-es2.i.intexsys.lv:9200/opcart_opticsplanet_test_2016-10-24-155301/_settings" -d'
{
  "index": {
    "routing.allocation.include.indexing": false
  }
}'

but not

curl -XPUT "http://dev-es2.i.intexsys.lv:9200/opcart_opticsplanet_test_2016-10-24-155301/_settings" -d'
{
  "index": {
    "index.routing.allocation.include.indexing": false
  }
}'
