Tools for moving and saving indicies.

(local)

npm install elasticdump
./bin/elasticdump

(global)

npm install elasticdump -g
elasticdump

elasticdump works by sending an input to an output. Both can be either an elasticsearch URL or a File.

Elasticsearch:

• format: {proticol}://{host}:{port}/{index}
• example: http://127.0.0.1:9200/my_index

File:

• format: {FilePath}
• example: /Users/evantahler/Desktop/dump.json

You can then do things like:

• Copy an index from production to staging:
  • elasticdump --input=http://production.es.com:9200/my_index --output=http://staging.es.com:9200/my_index
• Backup an index to a file:
  • elasticdump --input=http://production.es.com:9200/my_index --output=/var/dat/es.json

• --input (required) (see above)
• --output (required) (see above)
• --limit how many ojbects to move in bulk per operation (default: 100)
• --debug display the elasticsearch commands being used (default: false)
• --delete delete documents one-by-one from the input as they are moved (default: false)

• elasticdump (and elasticsearch in general) will create indices if they don't exist upon import
• we are using the put method to write objects. This means new objects will be created and old objects with the same ID will be updated
• the file transport will overwrite any existing files
• If you need basic http auth, you can use it like this: --input=http://name:[email protected]:9200/my_index
