editOnce installed, define the configuration for the hdfs
repository through the
REST API:
PUT _snapshot/my_hdfs_repository { "type": "hdfs", "settings": { "uri": "hdfs://namenode:8020/", "path": "elasticsearch/repositories/my_hdfs_repository", "conf.dfs.client.read.shortcircuit": "true" } }
The following settings are supported:
|
The uri address for hdfs. ex: "hdfs://<host>:<port>/". (Required) |
|
The file path within the filesystem where data is stored/loaded. ex: "path/to/file". (Required) |

A note on HDFS availability
editWhen you initialize a repository, its settings are persisted in the cluster state. When a node comes online, it will attempt to initialize all repositories for which it has settings. If your cluster has an HDFS repository configured, then all nodes in the cluster must be able to reach HDFS when starting. If not, then the node will fail to initialize the repository at start up and the repository will be unusable. If this happens, you will need to remove and re-add the repository or restart the offending node.
