Setting replication to async

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey,

I am trying to set the replication to async. I tried the following.

$ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/myindex' -d '{
"settings": {
"replication": "async"
}
}'

Is it the correct way to do it?

I know you can do it when indexing using this: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-replication

Not sure about the index setting. Need to look at code.

That said, are you really sure you want to do this?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, In our user case, we only want eventual
consistence in our data across the replicas. Will setting replication to
async increase write performance? Thanks again for helping out.

The default setting of Elasticsearch is replication mode "sync" for good
reason, this ensures the replica quorum (which is often determined as
"eventual consistency" but this is really something more because it
describes properties of the "last-seen" value for update).

Replication setting of "async" does not increase write performance on the
cluster, and it also does not enable eventual consistency. In fact it
disables the client's visibility of consistency. Replication setting to
"async" means an early return to the client who is listening for responses.
The responses under "async" mode return immediately after primary shard
operations but before any actions on replica shards have been executed. The
client can proceed earlier so this may help at the client side if
the client wants to finish the indexing process sooner regardless if
replica quorum has been reached at that time or not.
