From 0bcadbf846002f21e21ef2d1c2b5547a2f08dd6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Adams Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:12:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify storage location of ML Snapshots (#43437) The existing language was misleading about the model snapshots and where they are located. Saying "to disk" sounds like files external to Elasticsearch IMO. It raises the obvious question, where on disk? which node? Is it in the Elasticsearch snapshot repo? The model snapshots are held in an internal index. --- docs/reference/ml/apis/snapshotresource.asciidoc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/reference/ml/apis/snapshotresource.asciidoc b/docs/reference/ml/apis/snapshotresource.asciidoc index 73e2e9b3b8b..13a26e26e8d 100644 --- a/docs/reference/ml/apis/snapshotresource.asciidoc +++ b/docs/reference/ml/apis/snapshotresource.asciidoc @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ [[ml-snapshot-resource]] === Model snapshot resources -Model snapshots are saved to disk periodically. +Model snapshots are saved to an internal index within the Elasticsearch cluster.
