There's what's called "cluster metadata", and that's where settings can be overridden for a live cluster either permanently (to survive cluster restart) or temporarily using the various REST APIs (see for example cluster API). Some settings (mostly node specific configs) can only be changed via manually editing elasticsearch.yml.
My advice to you would be to use Puppet, Chef or any other configuration and deployment management tools to avoid unmoderated changes to elasticsearch.yml -- Itamar Syn-Hershko http://code972.com | @synhershko <https://twitter.com/synhershko> Freelance Developer & Consultant Author of RavenDB in Action <http://manning.com/synhershko/> On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 7:54 PM, Konstantin Erman <[email protected]> wrote: > I would expect this question to be popular, but still cannot google the > answer. > > If I have multiple ES nodes in the cluster, each having its own > configuration file (elasticsearch.yml) - what happens if some settings in > those files go out of sync?
