Configuration Properties

edit

Once installed, define the configuration for the hdfs repository through the REST API:

PUT _snapshot/my_hdfs_repository
{
  "type": "hdfs",
  "settings": {
    "uri": "hdfs://namenode:8020/",
    "path": "elasticsearch/respositories/my_hdfs_repository",
    "conf.dfs.client.read.shortcircuit": "true"
  }
}

The following settings are supported:

`uri`	The uri address for hdfs. ex: "hdfs://<host>:<port>/". (Required)
`path`	The file path within the filesystem where data is stored/loaded. ex: "path/to/file". (Required)
`load_defaults`	Whether to load the default Hadoop configuration or not. (Enabled by default)
`conf.<key>`	Inlined configuration parameter to be added to Hadoop configuration. (Optional) Only client oriented properties from the hadoop core and hdfs configuration files will be recognized by the plugin.
`compress`	Whether to compress the metadata or not. (Disabled by default)
`chunk_size`	Override the chunk size. (Disabled by default)
`security.principal`	Kerberos principal to use when connecting to a secured HDFS cluster. If you are using a service principal for your elasticsearch node, you may use the `_HOST` pattern in the principal name and the plugin will replace the pattern with the hostname of the node at runtime (see Creating the Secure Repository).
