*TL;DR* In preparation for an upcoming move to ElasticSearch 1.5 for cs_comments_service, there are changes for how to properly initialize forums. This does not affect the Ficus release. It only affects the master branch at this point.
*Longer:* If you use the supervisor startup scripts provided by the ansible playbooks in the configuration repo to start cs_comments_service, if a "content" alias with the proper mappings is not set up, cs_comments_service will fail to start. This is an intentional change to ensure that the configuration of the index is in-sync with what is expected by cs_comments_service. In order for the startup script to work properly, you will need the latest changes from master from both the configuration and cs_comments_service repos. To initialize a fresh install, you'll need to first call: bin/rake search:initialize To validate if your install has a 'content' alias with up-to-date mappings, you can call: bin/rake search:validate_index This validate_index call is what the supervisor startup script uses to determine whether forums should start. For more details, please read the cs_comments_service README. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
