Clone an index Added in 7.4.0

POST /{index}/_clone/{target}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Clone an existing index into a new index. Each original primary shard is cloned into a new primary shard in the new index.

IMPORTANT: Elasticsearch does not apply index templates to the resulting index. The API also does not copy index metadata from the original index. Index metadata includes aliases, index lifecycle management phase definitions, and cross-cluster replication (CCR) follower information. For example, if you clone a CCR follower index, the resulting clone will not be a follower index.

The clone API copies most index settings from the source index to the resulting index, with the exception of index.number_of_replicas and index.auto_expand_replicas. To set the number of replicas in the resulting index, configure these settings in the clone request.

Cloning works as follows:

  • First, it creates a new target index with the same definition as the source index.
  • Then it hard-links segments from the source index into the target index. If the file system does not support hard-linking, all segments are copied into the new index, which is a much more time consuming process.
  • Finally, it recovers the target index as though it were a closed index which had just been re-opened.

IMPORTANT: Indices can only be cloned if they meet the following requirements:

  • The index must be marked as read-only and have a cluster health status of green.
  • The target index must not exist.
  • The source index must have the same number of primary shards as the target index.
  • The node handling the clone process must have sufficient free disk space to accommodate a second copy of the existing index.

The current write index on a data stream cannot be cloned. In order to clone the current write index, the data stream must first be rolled over so that a new write index is created and then the previous write index can be cloned.

NOTE: Mappings cannot be specified in the _clone request. The mappings of the source index will be used for the target index.

Monitor the cloning process

The cloning process can be monitored with the cat recovery API or the cluster health API can be used to wait until all primary shards have been allocated by setting the wait_for_status parameter to yellow.

The _clone API returns as soon as the target index has been added to the cluster state, before any shards have been allocated. At this point, all shards are in the state unassigned. If, for any reason, the target index can't be allocated, its primary shard will remain unassigned until it can be allocated on that node.

Once the primary shard is allocated, it moves to state initializing, and the clone process begins. When the clone operation completes, the shard will become active. At that point, Elasticsearch will try to allocate any replicas and may decide to relocate the primary shard to another node.

Wait for active shards

Because the clone operation creates a new index to clone the shards to, the wait for active shards setting on index creation applies to the clone index action as well.

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    Name of the source index to clone.

  • target string Required

    Name of the target index to create.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).

Create or update an alias

POST /{index}/_alias/{name}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Adds a data stream or index to an alias.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams or indices to add. Supports wildcards (*). Wildcard patterns that match both data streams and indices return an error.

  • name string Required

    Alias to update. If the alias doesn’t exist, the request creates it. Index alias names support date math.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

application/json

Body

  • filter object

    An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

    External documentation
  • index_routing string
  • is_write_index boolean

    If true, sets the write index or data stream for the alias. If an alias points to multiple indices or data streams and is_write_index isn’t set, the alias rejects write requests. If an index alias points to one index and is_write_index isn’t set, the index automatically acts as the write index. Data stream aliases don’t automatically set a write data stream, even if the alias points to one data stream.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

  • flat_settings boolean

    If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • include_defaults boolean

    If true, return all default settings in the response.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. If false, information is retrieved from the master node.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

            • ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string

              This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

            • limit number

              The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.

          • nested_fields object
            Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

          • nested_objects object
            Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.

          • field_name_length object
            Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
            • limit number

              Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

            You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.

            A date and time, either as a string whose format can depend on the context (defaulting to ISO 8601), or a number of milliseconds since the Epoch. Elasticsearch accepts both as input, but will generally output a string representation.

            One of:
            DateTime string UnitMillis number

          • start_time string | number

            A date and time, either as a string whose format can depend on the context (defaulting to ISO 8601), or a number of milliseconds since the Epoch. Elasticsearch accepts both as input, but will generally output a string representation.

            One of:
            DateTime string UnitMillis number
        • queries object
          Hide queries attribute Show queries attribute object
          • cache object
            Hide cache attribute Show cache attribute object
        • similarity object

          Configure custom similarity settings to customize how search results are scored.

        • mapping object
          Hide mapping attributes Show mapping attributes object
          • coerce boolean
          • total_fields object
            Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object

            • limit number | string

              The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.

              One of:
              number-1 number string-2 string

            • ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string

              This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

              One of:
              boolean-1 boolean string-2 string
          • depth object
            Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.

          • nested_fields object
            Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

          • nested_objects object
            Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.

          • field_name_length object
            Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
            • limit number

              Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

          • dimension_fields object
            Hide dimension_fields attribute Show dimension_fields attribute object
            • limit number

              [preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

          • source object
            Hide source attribute Show source attribute object
            • mode string Required

          • ignore_malformed boolean | string

            One of:
            boolean-1 boolean string-2 string
        • indexing.slowlog object

          • memory object Required
            Hide memory attribute Show memory attribute object
            • limit number

              Number of outstanding bytes that may be consumed by indexing requests. When this limit is reached or exceeded, the node will reject new coordinating and primary operations. When replica operations consume 1.5x this limit, the node will reject new replica operations. Defaults to 10% of the heap.

        • store object
          Hide store attributes Show store attributes object

          • type string Required

            Any of:

          • allow_mmap boolean

            You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.

      • data_stream string
      • lifecycle object
        Hide lifecycle attributes Show lifecycle attributes object
        • data_retention string

Roll over to a new index Added in 5.0.0

POST /{alias}/_rollover/{new_index}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

TIP: It is recommended to use the index lifecycle rollover action to automate rollovers.

The rollover API creates a new index for a data stream or index alias. The API behavior depends on the rollover target.

Roll over a data stream

If you roll over a data stream, the API creates a new write index for the stream. The stream's previous write index becomes a regular backing index. A rollover also increments the data stream's generation.

Roll over an index alias with a write index

TIP: Prior to Elasticsearch 7.9, you'd typically use an index alias with a write index to manage time series data. Data streams replace this functionality, require less maintenance, and automatically integrate with data tiers.

If an index alias points to multiple indices, one of the indices must be a write index. The rollover API creates a new write index for the alias with is_write_index set to true. The API also sets is_write_index to false for the previous write index.

Roll over an index alias with one index

If you roll over an index alias that points to only one index, the API creates a new index for the alias and removes the original index from the alias.

NOTE: A rollover creates a new index and is subject to the wait_for_active_shards setting.

Increment index names for an alias

When you roll over an index alias, you can specify a name for the new index. If you don't specify a name and the current index ends with - and a number, such as my-index-000001 or my-index-3, the new index name increments that number. For example, if you roll over an alias with a current index of my-index-000001, the rollover creates a new index named my-index-000002. This number is always six characters and zero-padded, regardless of the previous index's name.

If you use an index alias for time series data, you can use date math in the index name to track the rollover date. For example, you can create an alias that points to an index named <my-index-{now/d}-000001>. If you create the index on May 6, 2099, the index's name is my-index-2099.05.06-000001. If you roll over the alias on May 7, 2099, the new index's name is my-index-2099.05.07-000002.

Path parameters

  • alias string Required

    Name of the data stream or index alias to roll over.

  • new_index string Required

    Name of the index to create. Supports date math. Data streams do not support this parameter.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    If true, checks whether the current index satisfies the specified conditions but does not perform a rollover.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).

  • lazy boolean

    If set to true, the rollover action will only mark a data stream to signal that it needs to be rolled over at the next write. Only allowed on data streams.

Update a trained model deployment Added in 8.6.0

POST /_ml/trained_models/{model_id}/deployment/_update
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Path parameters

  • model_id string Required

    The unique identifier of the trained model. Currently, only PyTorch models are supported.

Query parameters

  • number_of_allocations number

    The number of model allocations on each node where the model is deployed. All allocations on a node share the same copy of the model in memory but use a separate set of threads to evaluate the model. Increasing this value generally increases the throughput. If this setting is greater than the number of hardware threads it will automatically be changed to a value less than the number of hardware threads.

application/json

Body

  • number_of_allocations number

    The number of model allocations on each node where the model is deployed. All allocations on a node share the same copy of the model in memory but use a separate set of threads to evaluate the model. Increasing this value generally increases the throughput. If this setting is greater than the number of hardware threads it will automatically be changed to a value less than the number of hardware threads. If adaptive_allocations is enabled, do not set this value, because it’s automatically set.

  • adaptive_allocations object
    Hide adaptive_allocations attributes Show adaptive_allocations attributes object
    • enabled boolean Required

      If true, adaptive_allocations is enabled

    • min_number_of_allocations number

      Specifies the minimum number of allocations to scale to. If set, it must be greater than or equal to 0. If not defined, the deployment scales to 0.

    • max_number_of_allocations number

      Specifies the maximum number of allocations to scale to. If set, it must be greater than or equal to min_number_of_allocations.
