Class SystemIndexDescriptor

java.lang.Object
org.elasticsearch.indices.SystemIndexDescriptor

public class SystemIndexDescriptor
extends java.lang.Object
A system index descriptor describes one or more system indices. It can match a number of indices using a pattern. For system indices that are managed externally to Elasticsearch, this is enough. For system indices that are managed internally to Elasticsearch, a descriptor can also include information for creating the system index, upgrading its mappings, and creating an alias.

    • SystemIndexDescriptor

      public SystemIndexDescriptor​(java.lang.String indexPattern, java.lang.String description)
      Creates a descriptor for system indices matching the supplied pattern. These indices will not be managed by Elasticsearch internally.
      Parameters:
      indexPattern - The pattern of index names that this descriptor will be used for. Must start with a '.' character.
      description - The name of the plugin responsible for this system index.
  • Method Details

    • getIndexPattern

      public java.lang.String getIndexPattern()
      Returns:
      The pattern of index names that this descriptor will be used for.
    • getPrimaryIndex

      public java.lang.String getPrimaryIndex()
      Returns:
      The concrete name of an index being managed internally to Elasticsearch. Will be null for indices managed externally to Elasticsearch.
    • matchesIndexPattern

      public boolean matchesIndexPattern​(java.lang.String index)
      Checks whether an index name matches the system index name pattern for this descriptor.
      Parameters:
      index - The index name to be checked against the index pattern given at construction time.
      Returns:
      True if the name matches the pattern, false otherwise.
    • getMatchingIndices

      public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMatchingIndices​(Metadata metadata)
      Retrieves a list of all indices which match this descriptor's pattern. This cannot be done via IndexNameExpressionResolver because that class can only handle simple wildcard expressions, but system index name patterns may use full Lucene regular expression syntax,
      Parameters:
      metadata - The current metadata to get the list of matching indices from
      Returns:
      A list of index names that match this descriptor
    • getDescription

      public java.lang.String getDescription()
      Returns:
      A short description of the purpose of this system index.
    • toString

      public java.lang.String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class java.lang.Object
    • getMappings

      public java.lang.String getMappings()
    • getSettings

      public Settings getSettings()
    • getAliasName

      public java.lang.String getAliasName()
    • getIndexFormat

      public int getIndexFormat()
    • getVersionMetaKey

      public java.lang.String getVersionMetaKey()
    • isAutomaticallyManaged

      public boolean isAutomaticallyManaged()
    • getOrigin

      public java.lang.String getOrigin()
    • getIndexType

      public java.lang.String getIndexType()
    • checkMinimumNodeVersion

      public java.lang.String checkMinimumNodeVersion​(java.lang.String cause, Version actualMinimumNodeVersion)
      Checks that this descriptor can be used within this cluster e.g. the cluster supports all required features, by comparing the supplied minimum node version to this descriptor's minimum version.
      Parameters:
      cause - the action being attempted that triggered the check. Used in the error message.
      actualMinimumNodeVersion - the lower node version in the cluster
      Returns:
      an error message if the lowest node version is lower that the version in this descriptor, or null if the supplied version is acceptable or this descriptor has no minimum version.
