Try add " "data" : "false" to the node that you would like to remove data (you are trying to move from node4 -> node3 right?). I'm not sure, but when operation succeed, data will be copied to node3, *but* it *as far as I know* dhe data will stay on node, To be sure compare folder size, and if correct, remove them manually. The setting: { "ok" : true, "cluster_name" : "mycluster", "nodes" : { "RTlR2GvATs-jqYSRQ5c6bg" : { "name" : "node4", "transport_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.89:9304]", "hostname" : "V04", "version" : "0.90.12", "http_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.89:9204]", "attributes" : { "master" : "false" * "data" : "false"* }, "process" : { "refresh_interval" : 1000, "id" : 3420, "max_file_descriptors" : -1, "mlockall" : false } }, "BA2wkXmKTAqQlaULydDjuA" : { "name" : "node3", "transport_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.173:9300]", "hostname" : "V03", "version" : "0.90.12", "http_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.173:9200]", "attributes" : { "master" : "true" }, "process" : { "refresh_interval" : 1000, "id" : 1148, "max_file_descriptors" : -1, "mlockall" : false } } } }
*Actually* curl localhost:9200/_settings?pretty |less { "logstash-2014.05.09" : { "settings" : { "index" : { "uuid" : "D3C5kDoVRUShZbxHsY9i9A", "analysis" : { "analyzer" : { "default" : { "type" : "standard", "stopwords" : "_none_" } } }, *"number_of_replicas" : "1",* "number_of_shards" : "5", "refresh_interval" : "5s", "version" : { "created" : "1000199" } } } }, *If you have your replica configured, it should copy to second node itself.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
