This script is a significant expansion upon / rewrite of https://github.com/adamenger/rolypoly

Purpose:

Gracefully restart an elasticsearch cluster.

Configuration

For lack of a better solution, this script requires the user to define their environment.

You'll find this section in the top of the script.

Example:

# EXAMPLE CLUSTER
cluster1 = {
  'name' => 'Production Cluster',
  'master' => [
    'es-master-01.yourcompany.com',
    'es-master-02.yourcompany.com',
    'es-master-03.yourcompany.com'
  ],
  'data' => [
    'es-data-01.yourcomany.com',
    'es-data-02.yourcomany.com',
    'es-data-03.yourcomany.com',
    'es-data-04.yourcomany.com',
    'es-data-05.yourcomany.com'
  ],
  'client' => [
    'es-client-01.yourcompany.com'
  ]
}

list_of_clusters = [ cluster1 ]

cluster1 is a hash object, with name, master, data, and client arrays. name is required, as is data.

list_of_clusters is an array of the cluster object names (i.e. cluster1, cluster2, etc).

This script isn't really necessary for rolling only master / client nodes, as it does balancing that client / master nodes don't need. The script assumes you're rolling data nodes.

Usage:

Execution

/path/to/ruby es_rolling_restart.rb

The script is interactive. I plan to add a non-interactive mode someday.

Authentication

This script will use your username and your default ssh settings. By default it will use your private key. I don't recommend doing this with passwords.
