Working on fixing an issue with an ELK stack today and I realized that the folks at Elastic have some pretty interesting names for the shards in the database.
So far I’ve seen:
- Peregrine
- Obliterator
- Amiko Kobayashi
- Cassie Lang
- Vakume
- Mist Mistress
- Arides
- Roughhouse
- Omega the Unknown
- Martinex
There were a few more; Elasticsearch generates a new shard name every time the service is restarted. I’m almost tempted to restart the service a few more times, just to see what it’ll come up with.
Also, it’d be great if the commands to check the integrity of an index were, you know, simpler.
