Hi Folks, I need to have 2 configuration files. The first (first-elasticsearch.yml) will be package in my jar\* file, and the second will be externalized. [https://gist.github.com/1334242](https://gist.github.com/1334242) It almost works but something looks strange in the InternalSettingsPerparer. - builder.settings().loadFromClasspath load the first file and the path.config is resolved. - builder.build() instantiate a new InternalNode() which run InternalSettingsPerparer.prepareSettings(pSettings, loadConfigSettings). - prepareSettings load the file by using settingsBuilder.loadFromUrl(environment.resolveConfig("elasticsearch.yml")); settingsBuilder no contains the new value ~But in the end prepareSettings(..) execute settingsBuilder.put(pSettings). This will restore the previous values : (. Is it a feature to override last loaded properties with the initial settings ? I can't understand the need of calling the settingsBuilder.put(pSettings) two times. @Shay In the same time I think there's a typo in the class name 😉 Perparer instead of Preparer. ==== \*My ES is embeded. ---

I am not sure I follow... . Do you mean that you expect the first-elasticsearch.yml setting to override the ones loaded by elasticsearch automatically from the classpath?

What you describe it's not what I expect, it's what's happened ! The "firts-elasticsearch.yml" is load from classpath (coded in my methode) and define the location of the second. The second is loaded when the node is create but even if the properties are loaded the second call of settingsBuilder.put(pSettings) restore the properties comming from the first file. I just want to define configuration in my jar and be able to override some properties when needed by server administrator.( like cluster- name, allowed ip,.. ) On Nov 3, 12:03 am, Shay Banon [kim...@gmail.com](mailto:kim...@gmail.com) wrote: > I am not sure I follow... .

Thats the order that its executed... . There is no reason though that you can't simply construct your own settings object, load into the data from the two files (in the order that you want), and then pass the settings to the node builder. You can also configure it to not load the default settings.

No need for that :), I thought it was a good question 🙂 On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 11:14 AM, vlag [vlagorce@gmail.com](mailto:vlagorce@gmail.com) wrote: > ...I just realize that...I am ashamed !! > > I easily won the first price for "The useless question of the week > (.may be more ::)". > > Thanks Shay. ---
