Overview

  • Rolling restart vs. Full restart
  • Reindexing and syncing
    • Explain how record/document batches/deltas are calculated based on timestamps
  • Changes to mappings
    • Simple scenario: Adding fields with PUT mapping
    • Complex scenario: changing types/structure
  • Online vs offline
    • When downtime is necessary
    • Implications in terms of old/new system actions order
  • Data migration and data model evolution

Upgrading indices (in-cluster)

  • Requirements: Modification timestamp and version counter.

Migrating indices (cross-cluster)

  • Extra migration controller/worker node setup
  • Not possible to read from ES (only via Reindex API)
  • Transformation functions (e.g. ES2 -> ES5 suggestions field changes, or when mapping structure has changed)
