Settings Exception with repository-hdfs plugin

Scott_E_Lundgren · March 30, 2015, 4:31pm

Can someone point out what's wrong with my configuration of the
repository-hdfs plugin in my elasticsearch.yml ? I'm using Elasticsearch
v1.3.4, repository-hdfs v2.0.2. The relevant part of elasticsearch.yml:

repositories
hdfs:
path: "/user/jce/archive"

I think I'm following the configuration documentation
at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/2.0/repository-hdfs
but I'm seeing errors of:

- SettingsException[Failed to load settings from

[file:/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml]]
ElasticsearchParseException[malformed, expected settings to start with
'object', instead was [VALUE_STRING]]

You probably have a syntax error (make sure you are using spaces and NOT tabs in your yml file). I just did a quick
check and it worked with the latest ES.
As inspiration you can try the configuration used within the test suite (checked every night) available here [1].
Additionally you can register the repository dynamically through the REST API as documented here [2]. This makes it easy
to check various settings and see what works and doesn't.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for linking to the yml file in the master branch as an example. I did have spaces but I had forgotten a colon after repositories!
