Stop watch service API

Stop watcher enables you to manually stop the watch service. Submit the following request to stop the watch service:

StopWatchServiceRequest request = new StopWatchServiceRequest();

The returned AcknowledgeResponse contains a value on whether or not the request was received:

boolean isAcknowledged = response.isAcknowledged(); 

When executing a StopWatchServiceRequest in the following manner, the client waits for the StopWatchServiceResponse to be returned before continuing with code execution:

AcknowledgedResponse response = client.watcher().stopWatchService(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Synchronous calls may throw an IOException in case of either failing to parse the REST response in the high-level REST client, the request times out or similar cases where there is no response coming back from the server.

In cases where the server returns a 4xx or 5xx error code, the high-level client tries to parse the response body error details instead and then throws a generic ElasticsearchException and adds the original ResponseException as a suppressed exception to it.

Executing a StopWatchServiceRequest can also be done in an asynchronous fashion so that the client can return directly. Users need to specify how the response or potential failures will be handled by passing the request and a listener to the asynchronous stop-watch-service method:

client.watcher().stopWatchServiceAsync(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT, listener); 

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is completed the ActionListener is called back using the onResponse method if the execution successfully completed or using the onFailure method if it failed. Failure scenarios and expected exceptions are the same as in the synchronous execution case.

A typical listener for stop-watch-service looks like:

ActionListener<AcknowledgedResponse> listener = new ActionListener<AcknowledgedResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(AcknowledgedResponse response) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Exception e) {
        
    }
};
