TTL and Recovery

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi there,

just a short question:

When I have an index with documnets and the _ttl set, and ES has been shut
down, and gets started again, the documents that have expired in the
meantime gets purged.

Where exactly in the source code happens this? I was searching for ages but
all I could find was the IndicesTTLService.java file but that one does not
seem to be the right place.
I suppose it happens somewhere in the recovery process.

I tried to figure out by setting log level to trace but that did not give
me the right place either.

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jan

Once a node starts, the IndicesTTLService is also started. The
IndicesTTLService
starts the PurgerThread thread that periodically deletes all expired
document for all indices that have a ttl configured. The deleting is
actually performed in the PurgerThread#purgeShards method.

If you set the 'indices.ttl' to 'DEBUG' in the logging.yml, you should see
the related log lines.
