This is a set of tasks we use to manage an Elasticsearch cluster.
Available tasks are:
- create an index,
- optimize a whole cluster, starting with the index having the greatest number of deleted documents,
- optimize an index,
- enable / disable rack awareness,
- perform a rolling restart,
- include / exclude a rack, zone or a set of hosts,
- update an index or a cluster refresh time,
- update an index or a cluster number of replicas.
We use a set of variables for all our clusters:
rack_id: the rack name for rack awareness.cluster_addr: by default, the host you'll target with the rolees_version: Elasticsearch version, 1, 2 or 5
