ASF GitHub Bot commented on METRON-1306: ---------------------------------------- Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/834 I clearly see the advantages of failing fast here, but I do have a hesitation. I haven't even totally convinced myself of this. Maybe you guys can help me think down this line of thought and make sure it is a non-issue. This seems like we are introducing a hard dependency between Indexing and Elasticsearch. If Elasticsearch is not running, then I cannot start the Indexing topology. What if I am not using ES, but just want to index into HDFS (or Solr, ha)? Or what if I am need to customize my templates? Does this introduce any pain points that we are not anticipating? > When index template install fails, we should fail the install > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: METRON-1306 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1306 > Project: Metron > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Casey Stella > > Right now we warn when an index template install fails. In my opinion, this > should be an install failure, not a warning. It's disorienting for the user > to have a green install and have the UIs fail to work due to template issues. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
