Update settings api ignoring index.refresh_interval

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I see the following in the logs when I attempt to update the refresh
settings for an index. I'm running "0.20.1". Isn't index.refresh_interval
configurable?

[2013-02-20 16:12:59,115][WARN ][cluster.metadata ] [] [] ignoring
non dynamic index level settings for open indices: [index.refresh_interval]

It is configurable. What command are you running?

curl -XPUT hostname:9200/index-20130220/_settings -d '{
"index" : {
"refresh_interval" : "10s"
}
}'

The current setting is 900s which is specified in an index template. The
update works on my test box but it fails on our larger cluster. The only
other update setting I've done is to set
index.routing.allocation.total_shards_per_node to 2 - which worked fine.

Just to follow up. On my local 1-node cluster test I see a log
"index.shard.service updating refresh_interval from [15m] to [10s]" but on
the cluster I only see the cluster.metadata error. My setup has designated
'master' nodes with data=false, master=true and 'data' nodes with
data=true, master=false. I'm send the request to a master. The data nodes
have rivers enabled for ingest. The masters have river=none. I tried
restarting all the nodes in cluster but that didn't fix it.

The cluster state is GREEN and its indexing data fine.

This command should work fine (and clearly does on your local
machine). I'm not quite sure how you're getting the warning, or why
it was thinking the index name was `index.refresh_interval', but
Martijn fixed a bug[1] in that exact section of code a couple weeks
ago. Any chance you can upgrade to 0.20.5 and see if it helps?

I can see how this might happen on a master, with non data node. I will open an issue: Index dynamic settings might not be allowed to be applied on master with no data node · Issue #2675 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub. Its because of the master/non data node.
