Index recovery prioritization
editIndex recovery prioritization
editUnallocated shards are recovered in order of priority, whenever possible. Indices are sorted into priority order as follows:
-
the optional
index.priority
setting (higher before lower) - the index creation date (higher before lower)
- the index name (higher before lower)
This means that, by default, newer indices will be recovered before older indices.
Use the per-index dynamically updatable index.priority
setting to customise
the index prioritization order. For instance:
resp = client.indices.create( index="index_1", ) print(resp) resp1 = client.indices.create( index="index_2", ) print(resp1) resp2 = client.indices.create( index="index_3", settings={ "index.priority": 10 }, ) print(resp2) resp3 = client.indices.create( index="index_4", settings={ "index.priority": 5 }, ) print(resp3)
response = client.indices.create( index: 'index_1' ) puts response response = client.indices.create( index: 'index_2' ) puts response response = client.indices.create( index: 'index_3', body: { settings: { 'index.priority' => 10 } } ) puts response response = client.indices.create( index: 'index_4', body: { settings: { 'index.priority' => 5 } } ) puts response
const response = await client.indices.create({ index: "index_1", }); console.log(response); const response1 = await client.indices.create({ index: "index_2", }); console.log(response1); const response2 = await client.indices.create({ index: "index_3", settings: { "index.priority": 10, }, }); console.log(response2); const response3 = await client.indices.create({ index: "index_4", settings: { "index.priority": 5, }, }); console.log(response3);
PUT index_1 PUT index_2 PUT index_3 { "settings": { "index.priority": 10 } } PUT index_4 { "settings": { "index.priority": 5 } }
In the above example:
-
index_3
will be recovered first because it has the highestindex.priority
. -
index_4
will be recovered next because it has the next highest priority. -
index_2
will be recovered next because it was created more recently. -
index_1
will be recovered last.
This setting accepts an integer, and can be updated on a live index with the update index settings API:
resp = client.indices.put_settings( index="index_4", settings={ "index.priority": 1 }, ) print(resp)
response = client.indices.put_settings( index: 'index_4', body: { 'index.priority' => 1 } ) puts response
const response = await client.indices.putSettings({ index: "index_4", settings: { "index.priority": 1, }, }); console.log(response);
PUT index_4/_settings { "index.priority": 1 }
