Hello, I followed the instructions at the bottom of http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.5/modules-cluster.html to exclude an instance in our test ES cluster:
curl -v -XPUT http://dev:9200/_cluster/settings -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "transient":{ "cluster.routing.allocation.include._ip" : "10.0.11.26" } }' And it worked great - the instance relocated all its shards to other nodes and was left without shards on it. I'm now looking at removing the exclusion but can't find a way to do that. I tried to set the exclude pattern to empty, i.e. same as above but with an empty string instead of the "10.0.11.26", it seems to eventually work but the empty "exclude" value is left in the stats and I'm not sure whether it works correctly. I'm suspicious of this because what happens is that node 10.0.11.26 picked up shards but another node has lost all its shards. Is setting the value to empty string the right way to completely revert the exclude? Is there another way to achieve this? I found the following question circa 2012 but it too was left without an answer: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/elasticsearch/revert$20exclude/elasticsearch/fY3fCOKzCUQ/VK_yGVVVFcQJ Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
