Indices Recovery

edit

The indices recovery API provides insight into on-going index shard recoveries. Recovery status may be reported for specific indices, or cluster-wide.

For example, the following command would show recovery information for the indices "index1" and "index2".

GET index1,index2/_recovery?human

To see cluster-wide recovery status simply leave out the index names.

GET /_recovery?human

Response:

The above response shows a single index recovering a single shard. In this case, the source of the recovery is a snapshot repository and the target of the recovery is the node with name "my_es_node".

Additionally, the output shows the number and percent of files recovered, as well as the number and percent of bytes recovered.

In some cases a higher level of detail may be preferable. Setting "detailed=true" will present a list of physical files in recovery.

GET _recovery?human&detailed=true

This response shows a detailed listing (truncated for brevity) of the actual files recovered and their sizes.

Also shown are the timings in milliseconds of the various stages of recovery: index retrieval, translog replay, and index start time.

Note that the above listing indicates that the recovery is in stage "done". All recoveries, whether on-going or complete, are kept in cluster state and may be reported on at any time. Setting "active_only=true" will cause only on-going recoveries to be reported.

Here is a complete list of options:

`detailed`	Display a detailed view. This is primarily useful for viewing the recovery of physical index files. Default: false.
`active_only`	Display only those recoveries that are currently on-going. Default: false.

Description of output fields:

`id`	Shard ID
`type`	Recovery type: store snapshot replica relocating
`stage`	Recovery stage: init: Recovery has not started index: Reading index meta-data and copying bytes from source to destination start: Starting the engine; opening the index for use translog: Replaying transaction log finalize: Cleanup done: Complete
`primary`	True if shard is primary, false otherwise
`start_time`	Timestamp of recovery start
`stop_time`	Timestamp of recovery finish
`total_time_in_millis`	Total time to recover shard in milliseconds
`source`	Recovery source: repository description if recovery is from a snapshot description of source node otherwise
`target`	Destination node
`index`	Statistics about physical index recovery
`translog`	Statistics about translog recovery
`start`	Statistics about time to open and start the index
