elasticsearch-servicewrapper's Introduction

DEPRECATED: The service wrapper is deprecated and not maintained. It no longer works with Elasticsearch 2.x. Many of the features have been added to Elastisearch itself, and purpose built deb, rpm packages, as well as windows service, are avaialble.

A service wrapper execution for elasticsearch using Java Service Wrapper.

Installation guide

Important: If you want to use service wrapper with elasticsearch 0.90 (and below), you need to switch to the 0.90 branch of this repository and then follow the installation instructions.

Simply place the service directory under the elasticsearch bin directory and edit the elasticsearch.conf file to point to the correct elasticsearch home path.

Elasticsearch can be run as a service using the elasticsearch script located under bin/service location. The script accepts a single parameter with the following values:

Parameter	Description
console	Run the elasticsearch in the foreground.
start	Run elasticsearch in the background.
stop	Stops elasticsearch if its running.
install	Install elasticsearch to run on system startup (init.d / service).
remove	Removes elasticsearch from system startup (init.d / service).

The service uses Java Service Wrapper which is a small native wrapper around the Java virtual machine which also monitors it.

Note, passing JVM level configuration (such as -X parameters) should be set within the elasticsearch.conf file.

The ES_HEAP_SIZE environment variable controls the maximum memory allocation for the JVM (set in megabytes). It defaults to 1024.

Running on 64-bit Windows

This requires a commercial license for Java Service Wrapper. Licenses are bound to a specific machine, so make sure you send the correct host id when ordering the license.

Once you have your license information, paste the extra wrapper.license.* lines into the elasticsearch.conf file. Then download the corresponding windows x86 64 bit build of the JSW.

Copy bin\wrapper.exe to bin\service\exec\elasticsearch-windows-x86-64.exe, and lib\wrapper.dll and lib\wrapper.jar to bin\service\lib in your elasticsearch directory. Also make sure you have a 64-bit JRE installed. The service can then be installed and started as described above.

ElasticSearch failing to start

I have a problem with the es service wrapper.

First it was not working when I tried to install it:

/etc/init.d $ ./elasticsearch install
Unable to locate any of the following binaries:
  /home/user_name/elasticsearch-0.90.2/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch-linux-intel(r)xeon(r)[email protected]

  /home/user_name/elasticsearch-0.90.2/bin/service/exec/elasticsearch

It was due to this line.
I had to change it to (btw I use gentoo):

DIST_ARCH=`uname -m 2>/dev/null | $TREXE "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | $TREXE -d ' '`

And it installed successfully.

But when I try to run it. I get the following:

/etc/init.d $ ./elasticsearch start
Starting ElasticSearch...
Waiting for ElasticSearch......................
WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.

The service.log shows the following:

Tanuki is GPL-licensed

It would be more appropriate to have a non-GPL solution for an Apache-licensed project ....

For instance these may work:

Exit code issue

I found that when running elasticsearch status as root when RUN_AS_USER was set to a non-root user, the exit code was always zero (regardless of whether the process was running.) This would trip up other utilities that were trying to determine the running status of the service through that command.

Incompatibility with 1.0rc1

Failed to Start on FreeBSD

Hello everybody, I have an error then I try to start wrapper via service utility under freeBSD 9.0 x64

My steps are:

clone service directory to /opt/elasticsearch/bin/
cd /opt/elasticsearch/bin/service
ee ./elasticsearch.conf
set.default.ES_HOME=/opt/elasticsearch
./elasticsearch install
cd / (for clean experiment)
service elasticsearch start
and I have this:

WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.

but if I make this:
/opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch start

everything is fine. But I need working service way, for autostarting in boot time

PS: Sorry for me English...

possible typo in rapper.app.parameter.1

is the "F" in "org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticSearchF" a typo ? (file service/elasticsearch.conf line 56)
I didn't really follow the class path but I was able to get the service running by removing it.

Repo is missing 'elasticsearch-windows-x86-64.exe'

Hello,

The repo is missing the 64-bit file for windows in the exec dir. The batch file gives me these errors:

Unable to locate a Wrapper executable using any of the following names:
S:\apache\elasticsearch\elasticsearch-0.16.2\bin\service\\exec\elasticsearch-windows-x86-64.exe

Press any key to continue . . .

Thanks!

Consider Changing Default Start Order From S20 to at least S56

When running ElasticSearch within Amazon EC2 and EBS backed volumes the default start order of S20 is too early and the EBS volumes are not actually mounted yet (S55ebs-mount).

Consider making the S20elasticsearch symlink S56elasticsearch to ensure that all EBS volumes have been correctly mounted prior to starting ElasticSearch.

If ElasticSearch starts prior to the EBS volumes being mounted ES detects that the mount point is / and the wrong device; instead of the proper mount point and device.

Running the service wrapper from a directory containing files with letters A-Z failed

If you try running $ES_HOME/bin/service/elasticsearch from a directory containing any file whose name includes uppercase letters, the script would fail with:

Use YAJSW instead of Tanuki?

I would recommend using YAJSW instead of Tanuki because then it would be platform agnostic and only dependent on the JDK you use, therefore no native wrapper required.

For example, here is how I implement it from Windows for a JBoss server:
https://gist.github.com/4366912

Set user to run as in conf rather than main elasticsearch script

It took me forever to find it in the script file itself.

Also, it seems that you must run as root to use "mlockall", correct?

Can the wrapper be always released as a branch per ES version?

First of all, thanks for this service wrapper. Can I recommend creating branches per ES version based on compatibility, similar to the way https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws does it.

This will allow anyone using your code to have confidence in which ES versions a given servicewrapper branch works.

I am in the process of upgrading from 0.90.2 to 1.3.4 and if I am simply sourcing master as part of my Ansible process then it leaves me exposed to potential breaking changes when you upgrade for another version of ES.

Architecture detections fails on Gentoo

Hi, just from a quick glance:

The wrapper tries to detect:

DIST_ARCH=`uname -p 2>/dev/null | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | tr -d ' '`
if [ "X$DIST_ARCH" = "X" ]
then
    DIST_ARCH="unknown"
fi
if [ "$DIST_ARCH" = "unknown" ]
then
    DIST_ARCH=`uname -m 2>/dev/null | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | tr -d ' '`
fi

This breaks (at least) on Gentoo Linux in VirtualBox, because:

$ uname -p 2>/dev/null | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | tr -d ' '

Erasing the uname -p line solves the problem for me, but considering the rather undefined behaviour of uname, I don't expect that to work on all platforms :).

Document that set.default.ES_MIN_MEM / ES_MAX_MEM must be megabytes

Please include a reminder in the service/elasticsearch.conf that ES_MIN_MEM and ES_MAX_MEM must be specified in megabytes. This was unexpected, since the standard java command-line options allow gigabytes (eg, "-Xmx8g -Xms8g").

It was hard to identify the problem, couldn't find any errors logged until I started the service with the "console" option, which output:

...
wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application.
jvm 1 | Error occurred during initialization of VM
jvm 1 | Incompatible minimum and maximum heap sizes specified

Suggested comment in elasticsearch.conf:

set.default.ES_HOME=

This may only be specified in megabytes ("1g" causes failure to start)

set.default.ES_MIN_MEM=512
set.default.ES_MAX_MEM=512

Default logfile setting and "Coding Error" messages

Running the service gives following warnings:

wrapper  | Coding Error.  String contains invalid string token for queued logging: Unable to write to the configured log directory: %s (%s)
wrapper  |   The directory does not exist.
wrapper  | Coding Error.  String contains invalid string token for queued logging: Unable to write to the configured log file: %s (%s)
wrapper  |   Falling back to the default file in the current working directory: %s

That warnings dissappear after replacing

wrapper.logfile=%ES_HOME%/work/logs/service.log

with

wrapper.logfile=%ES_HOME%/logs/service.log

Maybe it should be default setting?

Classloader fails to load some plugin classes when running on Windows

When elasticsearch is running on Windows as a service, some plugins might fail to load classes from the plugin classpath if these classes are loaded on non-bootstrap threads. The problem first was reported by a user of the jetty plugin, but later I was able to reproduce it with some analysis plugins as well. It seems that any plugin that loads a class in the plugin class path on non-bootstrap thread has this problem. To reproduce:

Install elasticsearch with ICU plugin on Windows using service wrapper
Start elasticsearch as a service (important: starting service wrapper in console mode doesn't seem to reproduce this issue)
Create a new index that uses ICU analyzer:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test-icu -d '{
    "index" : {
        "analysis" : {
            "analyzer" : {
                "collation" : {
                    "tokenizer" : "keyword",
                    "filter" : ["icu_normalizer"]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'

On Windows the index creation fails with the following error:
