Trying to get create snapshot working with elasticsearch javascript

Jettro_Coenradie · December 12, 2014, 12:12am

Hi,
I am capable of creating a snapshot using sense or curl using the command:

PUT /_snapshot/gridshore-repo/gridshore_4
{
"indices": "gridshore*"
}

The problem is when I start doing something like this using the javascript
library in angularjs.

es.snapshot.create({"repository":"gridshore-repo","snapshot":"gridshore_4","indices":"gridshore*"}).then(function(data)
{
callback();
}, logErrors);

I get back errors like this:
StatusCodeError: InvalidIndexNameException[[_snapshot] Invalid index name
[snapshot], must not start with ''] {message:
"InvalidIndexNameException[[_snapshot] Invalid index name [snapshot], must
not start with '']", body: Object, status: 400, stack: (...)}

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

thanks

The problem was partly because I was doing it wrong. You need to provide
additional parameters in a body element. And there is a bug in the snapshot
creation, needs to be a PUT instead of a POST.

See issue:

github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-js

snapshot.create is not working

To recreate this problem I have a node.js program. This is the code: ``` var el…asticsearch = require('elasticsearch'); var client = new elasticsearch.Client({ host: 'localhost:9200', log: 'trace', apiVersion: '1.4' }); var newRepo = { "repository":"gridshore-repo", "snapshot":"test-2", "body": { "indices":"gridshore-*" } }; client.snapshot.create(newRepo).then(function(data) { console.log(data); }); ``` And this is the output: ``` /usr/local/bin/node index.js Elasticsearch INFO: 2014-12-12T09:33:55Z Adding connection to http://localhost:9200/ Elasticsearch DEBUG: 2014-12-12T09:33:55Z starting request { method: 'POST', path: '/_snapshot/gridshore-repo/test-2', body: { indices: 'gridshore-*' }, query: {} } Elasticsearch TRACE: 2014-12-12T09:33:55Z -> POST http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/gridshore-repo/test-2 { "indices": "gridshore-*" } <- 400 { "error": "InvalidIndexNameException[[_snapshot] Invalid index name [_snapshot], must not start with \u0027_\u0027]", "status": 400 } Elasticsearch DEBUG: 2014-12-12T09:33:55Z Request complete Possibly unhandled Error: InvalidIndexNameException[[_snapshot] Invalid index name [_snapshot], must not start with '_'] at respond (/Users/jettrocoenradie/sources/temp/elastictry/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:235:15) at checkRespForFailure (/Users/jettrocoenradie/sources/temp/elastictry/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:203:7) at HttpConnector.<anonymous> (/Users/jettrocoenradie/sources/temp/elastictry/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/connectors/http.js:148:7) at IncomingMessage.bound (/Users/jettrocoenradie/sources/temp/elastictry/node_modules/elasticsearch/node_modules/lodash-node/modern/internals/baseBind.js:56:17) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:117:20) at _stream_readable.js:943:16 at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13) ``` Now the problem is easy to be solved by changing the apis 1_4.js for example. api.snapshot.prototype.create change the method from POST into PUT and you are done. If you want me to I can create a pull request, but the changes are so trivial that a pull request might be more work.
