# Elasticsearch Helm Chart
|
|
|
|
This chart uses a standard Docker image of Elasticsearch (docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss) and uses a service pointing to the master's transport port for service discovery.
|
|
Elasticsearch does not communicate with the Kubernetes API, hence no need for RBAC permissions.
|
|
|
|
## Warning for previous users
|
|
If you are currently using an earlier version of this Chart you will need to redeploy your Elasticsearch clusters. The discovery method used here is incompatible with using RBAC.
|
|
If you are upgrading to Elasticsearch 6 from the 5.5 version used in this chart before, please note that your cluster needs to do a full cluster restart.
|
|
The simplest way to do that is to delete the installation (keep the PVs) and install this chart again with the new version.
|
|
If you want to avoid doing that upgrade to Elasticsearch 5.6 first before moving on to Elasticsearch 6.0.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites Details
|
|
|
|
* Kubernetes 1.6+
|
|
* PV dynamic provisioning support on the underlying infrastructure
|
|
|
|
## StatefulSets Details
|
|

## StatefulSets Caveats
|
|
* https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/#limitations
|
|
|
|
## Todo
|
|
|
|
* Implement TLS/Auth/Security
|
|
* Smarter upscaling/downscaling
|
|
* Solution for memory locking
|
|
|
|
## Chart Details
|
|
This chart will do the following:
|
|
|
|
* Implemented a dynamically scalable elasticsearch cluster using Kubernetes StatefulSets/Deployments
|
|
* Multi-role deployment: master, client (coordinating) and data nodes
|
|
* Statefulset Supports scaling down without degrading the cluster
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Chart
|
|
|
|
To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
|
|
$ helm install --name my-release incubator/elasticsearch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deleting the Charts
|
|
|
|
Delete the Helm deployment as normal
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ helm delete my-release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deletion of the StatefulSet doesn't cascade to deleting associated PVCs. To delete them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl delete pvc -l release=my-release,component=data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

In terms of Memory resources you should make sure that you follow that equation:
|

|
|
- `${role}HeapSize < ${role}MemoryRequests < ${role}MemoryLimits`
|
|
|
|
The YAML value of cluster.config is appended to elasticsearch.yml file for additional customization ("script.inline: on" for example to allow inline scripting)

|
|
|
|
## Mlocking
|
|
|
|
This is a limitation in kubernetes right now. There is no way to raise the
|
|
limits of lockable memory, so that these memory areas won't be swapped. This
|
|
would degrade performance heavily. The issue is tracked in
|
|
[kubernetes/#3595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/3595).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[WARN ][bootstrap] Unable to lock JVM Memory: error=12,reason=Cannot allocate memory
|
|
[WARN ][bootstrap] This can result in part of the JVM being swapped out.
|
|
[WARN ][bootstrap] Increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, soft limit: 65536, hard limit: 65536
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Minimum Master Nodes
|
|
> The minimum_master_nodes setting is extremely important to the stability of your cluster. This setting helps prevent split brains, the existence of two masters in a single cluster.
|
|
|
|
>When you have a split brain, your cluster is at danger of losing data. Because the master is considered the supreme ruler of the cluster, it decides when new indices can be created, how shards are moved, and so forth. If you have two masters, data integrity becomes perilous, since you have two nodes that think they are in charge.
|
|
|
|
>This setting tells Elasticsearch to not elect a master unless there are enough master-eligible nodes available. Only then will an election take place.
|
|
|
|
>This setting should always be configured to a quorum (majority) of your master-eligible nodes. A quorum is (number of master-eligible nodes / 2) + 1
|

|
|
|
# Client and Coordinating Nodes
|
|
|
|
Elasticsearch v5 terminology has updated, and now refers to a `Client Node` as a `Coordinating Node`.

|

## Select right storage class for SSD volumes
|
|
|
|
### GCE + Kubernetes 1.5
|
|
|
|
Create StorageClass for SSD-PD
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl create -f - <<EOF
|
|
kind: StorageClass
|
|
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: ssd
|
|
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
|
|
parameters:
|
|
type: pd-ssd
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
Create cluster with Storage class `ssd` on Kubernetes 1.5+
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ helm install incubator/elasticsearch --name my-release --set data.storageClass=ssd,data.storage=100Gi
|
|
```
