I have a cluster (1.3.2) of 10 data nodes and 5 master nodes. I want to take a snapshot of one index.
I'd like to configure a new "fs" snapshot "mybackupdir" where the "location" is ONLY accessible from the node (master node) I am issuing the snapshot creation PUT against. Next, if I issue a snapshot PUT for "mybackupdir/backup1" against the master node where that location is indeed accessible, will this work? Does the node that gets the snapshot request pull all the shard data from the data nodes over to itself and write them to the snapshot dir on disk? Or does each data-node responsible for each shard attempt to write to that same location? (thereby requiring that the snapshot "location" be accessible by all 15 nodes...) I ask this because I have a cluster that spans two data-centers and they don't all have access to a globally available NFS share where I could have a common mount path for the snapshots root thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
