I’m using Opensearch 1.0.0 on Docker. I’m using python client for opensearch. As in the documentation for python client, I’m running the following code block
from opensearchpy import OpenSearch
host = 'localhost'
port = 9200
auth = ('admin', 'admin')
client = OpenSearch(
hosts = [{'host': host, 'port': port}],
http_compress = True, # enables gzip compression for request bodies
http_auth = auth,
# client_cert = client_cert_path,
# client_key = client_key_path,
use_ssl = True,
verify_certs = False,
ssl_assert_hostname = False,
ssl_show_warn = False
)
index_name = 'python-test-index'
index_body = {
'settings': {
'index': {
'number_of_shards': 4
}
}
}
response = client.indices.create(index_name, body=index_body)
print('\nCreating index:')
print(response)
When I run this for the first time, It runs fine. And gives the following output.
Creating index:
{'acknowledged': True, 'shards_acknowledged': True, 'index': 'python-test-index'}
And if I tries to run it more then once, It throws a error indication that the index is already there. That is what I expected.
But If I ran the same block after stopping the docker container and restarting it, It creates the index again, Which means the existing index and data has gone after restarting the container.
How to create a permanent index in opensearch via python client?
Thank you
