Description

This API pauses a follower index. When this API returns, the follower index will not fetch any additional operations from the leader index. You can resume following with the resume follower API. Pausing and resuming a follower index can be used to change the configuration of the following task.

Path parameters

master_timeout: (Optional, time units) Period to wait for the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s. Can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

response = client.ccr.pause_follow(
  index: 'follower_index'
)
puts response

POST /follower_index/_ccr/pause_follow

The API returns the following result:

  "acknowledged" : true
}
