== Cross Cluster Search
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
The _cross cluster search_ feature allows any node to act as a federated client across
2018-01-30 14:40:19 -05:00
multiple clusters. A cross cluster search node won't join the remote cluster, instead
it connects to a remote cluster in a light fashion in order to execute
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
federated search requests.
2017-04-04 07:34:16 -04:00
Cross cluster search works by configuring a remote cluster in the cluster state and connecting only to a
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
limited number of nodes in the remote cluster. Each remote cluster is referenced by a name and a list of seed nodes.
2017-06-02 05:13:47 -04:00
When a remote cluster is registered, its cluster state is retrieved from one of the seed nodes so that up to 3
_gateway nodes_ are selected to be connected to as part of upcoming cross cluster search requests.
Cross cluster search requests consist of uni-directional connections from the coordinating node to the previously
selected remote nodes only. It is possible to tag which nodes should be selected through
node attributes (see <<cross-cluster-search-settings>>).
2017-04-04 07:34:16 -04:00
Each node in a cluster that has remote clusters configured connects to one or more _gateway nodes_ and uses
them to federate search requests to the remote cluster.

=== Configuring Cross Cluster Search
Remote clusters can be specified globally using <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings>>
(which can be updated dynamically), or local to individual nodes using the
`elasticsearch.yml` file.
If a remote cluster is configured via `elasticsearch.yml` only the nodes with
that configuration will be able to connect to the remote cluster. In other
words, federated search requests will have to be sent specifically to those
nodes. Remote clusters set via the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>>
will be available on every node in the cluster.
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
2017-07-10 06:03:20 -04:00
[WARNING]
This feature was added as Beta in Elasticsearch `v5.3` with further improvements made in 5.4 and 5.5. It requires gateway eligible nodes to be on `v5.5` onwards.
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
The `elasticsearch.yml` config file for a _cross cluster search_ node just needs to list the
remote clusters that should be connected to, for instance:
[source,yaml]
--------------------------------
search:
remote:
2017-01-11 06:36:00 -05:00
cluster_one: <1>
seeds: 127.0.0.1:9300
cluster_two: <1>
seeds: 127.0.0.1:9301
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
--------------------------------
2017-01-11 08:52:41 -05:00
<1> `cluster_one` and `cluster_two` are arbitrary cluster aliases representing the connection to each cluster.
These names are subsequently used to distinguish between local and remote indices.
2017-01-05 10:10:34 -05:00
2017-04-04 07:34:16 -04:00
The equivalent example using the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>>
to add remote clusters to all nodes in the cluster would look like the
following:
[source,js]
--------------------------------
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"search": {
"remote": {
"cluster_one": {

Cross Cluster Search: make remote clusters optional (#27182)
Today Cross Cluster Search requires at least one node in each remote cluster to be up once the cross cluster search is run. Otherwise the whole search request fails despite some of the data (either local and/or remote) is available. This happens when performing the _search/shards calls to find out which remote shards the query has to be executed on. This scenario is different from shard failures that may happen later on when the query is actually executed, in case e.g. remote shards are missing, which is not going to fail the whole request but rather yield partial results, and the _shards section in the response will indicate that.
This commit introduces a boolean setting per cluster called search.remote.$cluster_alias.skip_if_disconnected, set to false by default, which allows to skip certain clusters if they are down when trying to reach them through a cross cluster search requests. By default all clusters are mandatory.
Scroll requests support such setting too when they are first initiated (first search request with scroll parameter), but subsequent scroll rounds (_search/scroll endpoint) will fail if some of the remote clusters went down meanwhile.
The search API response contains now a new _clusters section, similar to the _shards section, that gets returned whenever one or more clusters were disconnected and got skipped:
"_clusters" : {
"total" : 3,
"successful" : 2,
"skipped" : 1
}
Such section won't be part of the response if no clusters have been skipped.
The per cluster skip_unavailable setting value has also been added to the output of the remote/info API.

Cross Cluster Search: make remote clusters optional (#27182)
Today Cross Cluster Search requires at least one node in each remote cluster to be up once the cross cluster search is run. Otherwise the whole search request fails despite some of the data (either local and/or remote) is available. This happens when performing the _search/shards calls to find out which remote shards the query has to be executed on. This scenario is different from shard failures that may happen later on when the query is actually executed, in case e.g. remote shards are missing, which is not going to fail the whole request but rather yield partial results, and the _shards section in the response will indicate that.
This commit introduces a boolean setting per cluster called search.remote.$cluster_alias.skip_if_disconnected, set to false by default, which allows to skip certain clusters if they are down when trying to reach them through a cross cluster search requests. By default all clusters are mandatory.
Scroll requests support such setting too when they are first initiated (first search request with scroll parameter), but subsequent scroll rounds (_search/scroll endpoint) will fail if some of the remote clusters went down meanwhile.
The search API response contains now a new _clusters section, similar to the _shards section, that gets returned whenever one or more clusters were disconnected and got skipped:
"_clusters" : {
"total" : 3,
"successful" : 2,
"skipped" : 1
}
Such section won't be part of the response if no clusters have been skipped.
The per cluster skip_unavailable setting value has also been added to the output of the remote/info API.

=== Skipping disconnected clusters
By default all remote clusters that are searched via Cross Cluster Search need to be available when
the search request is executed, otherwise the whole request fails and no search results are returned
despite some of the clusters are available. Remote clusters can be made optional through the
boolean `skip_unavailable` setting, set to `false` by default.

`search.remote.connections_per_cluster`::
The number of nodes to connect to per remote cluster. The default is `3`.
`search.remote.initial_connect_timeout`::
The time to wait for remote connections to be established when the node starts. The default is `30s`.
`search.remote.node.attr`::
A node attribute to filter out nodes that are eligible as a gateway node in
the remote cluster. For instance a node can have a node attribute
2017-02-05 09:56:45 -05:00
`node.attr.gateway: true` such that only nodes with this attribute will be
2017-01-18 04:13:48 -05:00

By default, any node in the cluster can act as a cross-cluster client and
connect to remote clusters. The `search.remote.connect` setting can be set
to `false` (defaults to `true`) to prevent certain nodes from connecting to
remote clusters. Cross-cluster search requests must be sent to a node that
is allowed to act as a cross-cluster client.
