Hi Everyone,
I just started experimenting with the cool snapshot feature of ES (using
ES 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04) using curator. I created a new repository on a
mounted NFS storage, using only the default options (compression turned
on). I checked it using curl:
user@myserver:~# curl -XGET
'http://IP_ADDRESS:9200/_snapshot/logBack?pretty'
{
"logBack" : {
"type" : "fs",
"settings" : {
"compress" : "true",
"location" : "/es_snapshots"
}
}
}
So, after that I used curator to create a snapshot of some older
indices. The process finished after some minutes, so I decided to have a
look at the files it created. It turned out that the snapshot's files
take up exactly as much space as the indices did originally while they
were in the cluster, so no compression happened at all. This is kind of
a problem for me, because I assumed that compression will greatly reduce
the size of the indices I put in a snapshot. So is there anything I'm
doing wrong?
Thank you,
Domonkos
