Hi @laoyang360, what bugs me is that the very first line says: > fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git We use git for checking out the Elasticsearch source code and for managing our "tracks" (i.e. benchmark descriptions). To me this looks like something in your `.rally` directory is inconsistent. Rally assumes that it manages this directory all by itself. Did you change anything manually in this directory or did you experience a fatal error previously? It seems that you did not paste the full log file. Can you please do that?. Can you also share the contents of `/root/.rally/rally.ini`? > I don't know why downloading data from [amazonaws.com](http://amazonaws.com)? Rally has to use some data for running a benchmark. And this is the location where it downloads them for you (it does this only once and caches the file locally then). It looks like you cannot reach the server. Are you maybe behind some proxy? You can check whether you'd be able to download the file from the machine by issuing a HEAD request with curl: ```auto curl -I http://benchmarks.elasticsearch.org.s3.amazonaws.com/corpora/geonames/documents.json.bz2 ``` This should return something like: ```auto HTTP/1.1 200 OK x-amz-id-2: 0kwgzT633TbtdWKuEWQz/QdqcIAvmmiEENH5pXOYtFGrsYB2TXyuiXgD7j7SUA1kqDv6BKiA4vo= x-amz-request-id: 91ECF2E5AF7BA5D6 Date: Wed, 03 Aug 2016 04:56:44 GMT Last-Modified: Fri, 04 Dec 2015 10:00:49 GMT ETag: "ab8d5133b42e89e1ddffa281eaff971c-13" x-amz-meta-s3cmd-attrs: uid:1000/gname:dialout/uname:mike/gid:20/mode:33204/mtime:1426483472/atime:1426472160/md5:d67839c9f3434b6857d32e526c6c01e2/ctime:1426485668 Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 197857614 Server: AmazonS3 ``` If this does not work then you should check how to resolve the network issue. > I also don't know the target of documents.json.bz2? What do you mean by that? Rally manages all file handling for you. You should not need to care where this file is stored etc. Daniel ---

Hi @laoyang360, oh, I sense we're coming close to finding out what's going on with git. I assume you have already installed an Elasticsearch distribution in `/usr/local/elasticsearch`? If yes, Rally expects the Elasticsearch source code in this directory so this is why it won't work. Rally can also automatically manage this directory for you, so there is no need to create anything. Normally, I do not encourage to change Rally's config file manually but can you change it to some different directory? I suggest: ```auto local.src.dir=/root/.rally/src ``` This is what Rally uses as default. You don't have to take care of anything, Rally will automatically create the folder, checkout the sources etc.. Just change the value in the ini file. > But I don't know why it download for such long long time? The output looks good. I have no clue either why it is taking so long. Are you on a very slow internet connection? Again, a workaround (usually not needed and not encouraged but I want to help you to move on): 1. Download the file manually. 2. Move it to `/root/.rally/benchmarks/data/geonames/` and create any folders that don't exist so far This is what Rally would do for you. If you download the file manually, please check the download speed and share the results. I'd be really interested. I hope that gets you going. It would be great if you could provide more detail about your environment (especially what's going on with your network). Maybe I am able to make Rally more robust for scenarios like yours then because this is not ideal... Daniel ---

Hi, the hardware looks pretty decent. Download speed is a bit low but it should still work. Maybe this is "just" a network timeout issue. When I find time I'll try whether I can reproduce it and make Rally more robust. Daniel ---

Hi @laoyang360, yes, I know what's wrong. Rally does not know the exact path to the Gradle binary and hence cannot build from sources. Do you remember whether Rally asked you for it when you configured it (because it should do this)? Did you install it after you've configured Rally? You can just add the following lines to `/root/.rally/rally.ini`: ```auto [build] gradle.bin = /usr/local/bin/gradle ``` I'm assuming above that gradle is installed in `/usr/local/bin/gradle`. Just update the path according to the output of `which gradle` on your system. Please also ensure that your `JAVA_HOME` environment variable points to a JDK 8 installation so you can build Elasticsearch from sources. Daniel ---

Hi, I noticed two more things that will prevent you from building from sources: 1. I still see the output `fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git`. I guess you did not change the value for `local.src.dir` in your `rally.ini`. 2. You have Gradle 2.14.1 installed. Elasticsearch currently requires _exactly_ Gradle 2.13 (see this [open ticket in the Elasticsearch project](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/18935) for more details) I don't know whether you've seen it, but you are not required to build Elasticsearch from sources. You can also just benchmark a binary distribution. Say you want to benchmark Elasticsearch 2.3.0, then you'd enter: ```auto esrally --pipeline=from-distribution --distribution-version=2.3.0 ``` Rally will download the specified distribution from the official download site and benchmark it.

Scratch that. I know where it's coming from. This is a bug Rally's own version detection. Nothing breaks as a consequence of that; it's just misleading and annoying.

Hi @laoyang360, ok, let's get this sorted out: When you run `esrally --pipline=from-distribution --distribution-version=2.3.4`, Rally will download Elasticsearch from [https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/tar/elasticsearch/2.3.4/elasticsearch-2.3.4.tar.gz](https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/tar/elasticsearch/2.3.4/elasticsearch-2.3.4.tar.gz) And according to the error message you could not reach this address from your computer as indicated by the network error: `OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable`. When you run just `esrally`, this is really just a convenience for the actual command that is run, which is: `esrally --pipeline=from-sources --version=current`. This means that Rally will build Elasticsearch from sources with Gradle. As I said you don't have the wrong version of Gradle installed (and Rally cannot really do anything about that). > Until now, I think esrally is not very good for use. It's too difficult. I am sorry to hear that. I see your struggles and I see what I can do to provide better error messages. I see two problems in your case: - Your network connection seems to be quite unstable (slow? sometimes errors like "network unreachable"). I check whether we can make Rally more robust in this case and maybe retry downloads - Gradle is not installed in the correct version. Maybe we can add a check for that. Do you have any other recommendations or suggestions? Daniel ---
