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?

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.

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? -Drew Footnotes: [1] [Fail when updating non dynamic index setting for an open index. · Issue #2647 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2647) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

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](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2675). Its because of the master/non data node. On Feb 22, 2013, at 5:31 PM, Telvis Calhoun Jr. [telvis07@gmail.com](mailto:telvis07@gmail.com) wrote: > I'll upgrade and get back to you.
