Elasticsearch: Copy Index Structure


Use Case: Let's say, you already have an index on one Server1 and you want to create a new index with the exact structure on Server2. What you should do?

Solution: 

1. Copy the index structure from Server1. Let's say your index name is: product-data-index and you can access the settings here: https://x.x.x.x:9200/product-data-index/_settings

{
"product-data-index": {
"settings": {
"index": {
"routing": {
"allocation": {
"include": {
"_tier_preference": "data_content"
}
}
},
"number_of_shards": "5",
"provided_name": "product-data-index",
"max_result_window": "30000",
"creation_date": "1627383249968",
"analysis": {
"normalizer": {
"lowercaseNorm": {
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"asciifolding"
],
"type": "custom"
}
},
"analyzer": {
"comma_analyzer": {
"filter": [
"lowercase"
],
"pattern": "(,)",
"type": "pattern",
"tokenizer": "standard"
}
}
},
"number_of_replicas": "1",
"uuid": "cftuOgIPSKWONmbqfICH0w",
"version": {
"created": "7060299"
}
}
}
}
}

Copy this settings JSON

2. Clean the settings JSON.

Now before creating an index, you have to remove few fields from the above JSON

"product-data-index"
"uuid"
"version"
"creation_date"

and it should look like this.

{
"settings": {
"index": {
"routing": {
"allocation": {
"include": {
"_tier_preference": "data_content"
}
}
},
"number_of_shards": "5",
"max_result_window": "30000",
"analysis": {
"normalizer": {
"lowercaseNorm": {
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"asciifolding"
],
"type": "custom"
}
},
"analyzer": {
"comma_analyzer": {
"filter": [
"lowercase"
],
"pattern": "(,)",
"type": "pattern",
"tokenizer": "standard"
}
}
},
"number_of_replicas": "1"
}
}
}
}

3. Run this command on Server2 in postman as per the screenshot. You can use any other API Client
which can help you to create the index. You can also use curl.



That's it.


NOTE: To copy data from Server1 to Server2, you can use Reindex API


Thanks!!! Enjoy Programming :)

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph. In out example we are using timer which automatically calls a funtion after every 1/4 th second and graph is updated with random data. Let's try with the code : Note : I had tried my best to provide complete documentation along with code. If at any time anyone have any doubt or question please post in comments section.

Flickr and OAuth

What is Flickr? I think you landed on this page because you know what Flickr is, so let’s come to the point and discuss about the API. Why am explaining? Although each and everything, about API, is well documented on Flickr website here , I'm just trying to explain the whole process by dividing it into small parts. Old Authentication API The current Flickr authorization scheme is not the first one it used. In the early days of Flickr, users granted the power to an app to act on their behalf by giving  the apps their Flickr username and password. Doing so meant that in order to revoke  an app’s permission, users would have to change their Flickr password. Of course, doing that would also instantly revoke permissions of other third-­party apps with knowledge of the user’s password. The new authorization scheme is meant to correct obvious problems with the old scheme. Why should you as a user have to use your Flickr password for anything other than your dealings with Fli...
