Hi, I am currently trying to install elasticsearch on amazon (amazon ami) using the chef-solo tutorial ( http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/deploying-elasticsearch-with-chef-solo/). I followed this tutorial couple months ago and was successfully running an ES cluster since then.
While doing a "test-run" I realised that the monit version is rather old and that it is not inline any longer with the updated cookbook resulting in an error (e.g. https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch/issues/184). I changed this by pulling the newest version from https://github.com/apsoto/monit and it installs just fine. Now I am just wondering why I am getting a "green" for the cluster health check: Remote Host 'elasticsearch_cluster_health' status online with all services monitoring status monitored port response time 0.008s to 0.0.0.0:9200/_cluster/health[HTTP via TCP] data collected Sat Mar 22 11:39:32 2014 Should the cluster health check fail since it is only one node? I also tried to update the version to 1.0.1. For that I spun up another instance using the same settings - but changing the version number in https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch/blob/master/attributes/default.rb#L16to 1.0.1. I saw that there are many issues/pull request regarding the upgrade - so I was thinking that a fresh install would avoid all this. The bootstrap script and everything runs fine - but the es service will not start. Trying to start es manually show the error: {1.0.1}: Initialization Failed ... - ElasticsearchIllegalStateException[Failed to obtain node lock, is the following location writable?: [/usr/local/elasticsearch-1.0.1/data/elasticsearch]] IOException[failed to obtain lock on /usr/local/elasticsearch-1.0.1/data/elasticsearch/nodes/49] IOException[Cannot create directory: /usr/local/elasticsearch-1.0.1/data/elasticsearch/nodes/49] Now I am wondering how to adjust the cookbook to set the paths right and avoid the lock error. Or is there another preferred way of upgrading? I also tried this using ubuntu server (using the updated setup instruction etc from the elasticsearch-cookbook github page) and ran into the same issues. Maybe somebody has similar issues/experiences. Thanks a lot for your help, Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
