Unfollow API
editUnfollow API
editConverts a cross-cluster replication follower index to a regular index.
Request
editresp = client.ccr.unfollow( index="<follower_index>", ) print(resp)
const response = await client.ccr.unfollow({ index: "<follower_index>", }); console.log(response);
POST /<follower_index>/_ccr/unfollow
Prerequisites
edit-
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have
manage_follow_index
index privileges for the follower index. For more information, see Security privileges.
Description
editThis API stops the following task associated with a follower index and removes index metadata and settings associated with cross-cluster replication. This enables the index to treated as a regular index. The follower index must be paused and closed before invoking the unfollow API.
Currently cross-cluster replication does not support converting an existing regular index to a follower index. Converting a follower index to a regular index is an irreversible operation.
Path parameters
edit-
<follower_index>
- (Required, string) The name of the follower index.
Query parameters
edit-
master_timeout
-
(Optional, time units)
Period to wait for the master node. If the master node is not available before
the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to
30s
. Can also be set to-1
to indicate that the request should never timeout.
Examples
editThis example converts follower_index
from a follower index to a regular index:
resp = client.ccr.unfollow( index="follower_index", ) print(resp)
response = client.ccr.unfollow( index: 'follower_index' ) puts response
const response = await client.ccr.unfollow({ index: "follower_index", }); console.log(response);
POST /follower_index/_ccr/unfollow
The API returns the following result:
{ "acknowledged" : true }
