elasticsearch-reindex 1.3.0

Python package for simple migration elasticsearch indexes between different elasticsearch nodes.

Elasticsearch Reindex

Description

elasticsearch-reindex is a CLI tool for transferring Elasticsearch indexes between different servers.

Installing

Install the package using pip:

pip install elasticsearch-reindex

Usage

Configuration

Ensure the source Elasticsearch host is whitelisted in the destination host. Edit the elasticsearch.yml configuration file on the destination Elasticsearch server.

You should edit Elasticsearch YML config:

Path to config file:

/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

Add the following line to the file:

reindex.remote.whitelist: <es-source-host>:<es-source-port>

Running the Tool

Use the CLI to migrate data between Elasticsearch instances:

elasticsearch_reindex \
        --source_host http(s)://es-source-host:es-source-port \
        --source_http_auth username:password \
        --dest_host http(s)://es-dest-host:es-dest-port \
        --dest_http_auth username:password \
        --check_interval 5 \
        --concurrent_tasks 3 \
        -i test_index_1 -i test_index_2

Also, there is a command alias elasticsearch-reindex:

elasticsearch-reindex ...

CLI Parameters

Required fields:

• source_host - Elasticsearch endpoint where data will be extracted.

• dest_host - Elasticsearch endpoint where data will be transfered.

Optional fields:

• source_http_auth - HTTP Basic authentication, username and password.

• dest_http_auth - HTTP Basic authentication, username and password.

• check_interval - Time period (in second) to check task success status.

  Default value - 10 (seconds)

• concurrent_tasks - How many parallel task Elasticsearch will process.

  Default value - 1 (sync mode)

• indexes - List of user ES indexes to migrate instead of all source indexes.

Run library from Python script:

from elasticsearch_reindex import ReindexManager


def main() -> None:
  """
  Example reindex function.
  """
  dict_config = {
    "source_host": "http://localhost:9201",
    "dest_host": "http://localhost:9202",
    "check_interval": 20,
    "concurrent_tasks": 5,
  }
  reindex_manager = ReindexManager.from_dict(data=dict_config)
  reindex_manager.start_reindex()


if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()

With custom user indexes:

from elasticsearch_reindex import ReindexManager


def main() -> None:
  """
  Example reindex function with HTTP Basic authentication.
  """
  dict_config = {
    "source_host": "http://localhost:9201",
    # If the source host requires authentication
    # "source_http_auth": "tmp-source-user:tmp-source-PASSWD.220718",
    "dest_host": "http://localhost:9202",
    # If the destination host requires authentication
    # "dest_http_auth": "tmp-reindex-user:tmp--PASSWD.220718",
    "check_interval": 20,
    "concurrent_tasks": 5,
    "indexes": ["es-index-1", "es-index-2", "es-index-n"],
  }
  reindex_manager = ReindexManager.from_dict(data=dict_config)
  reindex_manager.start_reindex()


if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()

Local install

Set up and activate a Python 3 virtual environment:

make ve

To install Git hooks:

make install_hooks

Create .env file and fill the data:

cp .env.example .env

Export env variables:

export $(xargs < .env)

Key Environment Variables::

Variable for enable testing:

• ENV - variable for enable testing mode. For activate test mode set to value - test.

Elasticsearch docker settings:

• ES_SOURCE_PORT - Source Elasticsearch port

• ES_DEST_PORT - Destination Elasticsearch port

• ES_VERSION - Elasticsearch version

• LOCAL_IP - Address of you local host machine in LAN like 192.168.4.106.

How to find your Local IP?

• MacOS (find it in response):

ifconfig

• Linux (find it in response):

ip r

Testing

Start Elasticsearch nodes using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

Verify Elasticsearch nodes are running:

• Source Elasticsearch:

curl -X GET $LOCAL_IP:$ES_SOURCE_PORT

• Destination Elasticsearch:

curl -X GET $LOCAL_IP:$ES_DEST_PORT

Export to PYTHONPATH env variable:

export PYTHONPATH="."

For run tests with pytest use:

make test

For run tests with pytest and coverage report use:

make test-cov
