I have a bunch of scripts to setup my development and production system. Now I recognized that ElasticSearch does not persist the configuration of new indexes if I create the index and immediately shut down ElasticSearch: curl -X PUT [http://localhost:9200/myindex](http://localhost:9200/myindex) -d @mapping.json curl -X POST [http://localhost:9200/\_shutdown?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_shutdown?pretty) If I wait around 20s between index creation and shutting down ES the configuration will be saved. So, that is fine for my production setup but not so fine for development. Can I change this somehow?

No, same result. Index settings are not persisted.

The default master node timeout for create index operation is 30 seconds. I can't tell why a cluster change takes so long to get persisted, is it a large cluster?

I tested it with 0.90.5 but I had no trouble in a dev environment (single node on Mac OS X) curl -XDELETE 'localhost:9200/test' curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/test' -d ' { "mappings" : { "docs" : { "properties" : { "content" : { "type" : "string" } } } } } ' curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_shutdown' Server shut down immediately in 1s, and after ./bin/elastiscearch -f I can receive the mapping curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test/\_mapping' {"test":{"docs":{"properties":{"content":{"type":"string"}}}}} Jörg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I will try to provide an example for this problem. Ok?

Hello Jörg, it seems so that this problem is somehow related to my setup. I call cURL from Ant. If I do the same in the shell or via script this problem does not occur.
