Currently, the get snapshots API (e.g. /_snapshot/{repositoryName}/_all)
provides information about snapshots in the repository, including the
snapshot state, number of shards snapshotted, failures, etc. In order
to provide information about each snapshot in the repository, the call
must read the snapshot metadata blob (`snap-{snapshot_uuid}.dat`) for
every snapshot. In cloud-based repositories, this can be expensive,
both from a cost and performance perspective. Sometimes, all the user
wants is to retrieve all the names/uuids of each snapshot, and the
indices that went into each snapshot, without any of the other status
information about the snapshot. This minimal information can be
retrieved from the repository index blob (`index-N`) without needing to
read each snapshot metadata blob.
This commit enhances the get snapshots API with an optional `verbose`
parameter. If `verbose` is set to false on the request, then the get
snapshots API will only retrieve the minimal information about each
snapshot (the name, uuid, and indices in the snapshot), and only read
this information from the repository index blob, thereby giving users
the option to retrieve the snapshots in a repository in a more
cost-effective and efficient manner.
Closes#24288
This commit brings the snapshot documentation in conformity
with the CONSOLE format, and fixes the docs so that the documentation
tests can be run against them.
It is important that folks understand that snapshot/restore isn't
for archiving. It is appropriate for backup and disaster recovery
but not for archival over long periods of time because of version
incompatibility.
Closes#20866
>However, the version of the new cluster should be the same or newer than the cluster that was
Afaik, you can't restore a snapshot to a newer cluster that is not consecutively newer (i.e. can't restore 1.x snapshot to a 5.x cluster). This is to clarify the statement above moving forward.
Until now we had a cloud-azure plugin which is providing 3 distinct features:
* discovery on Azure
* snapshot/restore on Aure
* SMB store
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:
* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
Require urls for URL repository to be listed in repositories.url.allowed_urls setting. This change ensures that only authorized URLs can be accessed by elasticsearch
Information about in-progress snapshot and restore processes is not really metadata and should be represented as a part of the cluster state similar to discovery nodes, routing table, and cluster blocks. Since in-progress snapshot and restore information is no longer part of metadata, this refactoring also enables us to handle cluster blocks in more consistent manner and allow creation of snapshots of a read-only cluster.
Closes#8102
Together with #8782 it should help in the situations simliar to #8887 by adding an ability to get information about currently running snapshot without accessing the repository itself.
Closes#8887
