Transportedit

The transport networking layer is used for internal communication between nodes within the cluster. Each call that goes from one node to the other uses the transport layer (for example, when an HTTP GET request is processed by one node, and should actually be processed by another node that holds the data). The transport module is also used for the TransportClient in the Elasticsearch Java API.

The transport mechanism is completely asynchronous in nature, meaning that there is no blocking thread waiting for a response. The benefit of using asynchronous communication is first solving the C10k problem, as well as being the ideal solution for scatter (broadcast) / gather operations such as search in Elasticsearch.

Transport settingsedit

The internal transport communicates over TCP. You can configure it with the following settings:

Setting	Description
`transport.port`	A bind port range. Defaults to `9300-9400`.
`transport.publish_port`	The port that other nodes in the cluster should use when communicating with this node. Useful when a cluster node is behind a proxy or firewall and the `transport.port` is not directly addressable from the outside. Defaults to the actual port assigned via `transport.port`.
`transport.bind_host`	The host address to bind the transport service to. Defaults to `transport.host` (if set) or `network.bind_host`.
`transport.publish_host`	The host address to publish for nodes in the cluster to connect to. Defaults to `transport.host` (if set) or `network.publish_host`.
`transport.host`	Used to set the `transport.bind_host` and the `transport.publish_host`.
`transport.connect_timeout`	The connect timeout for initiating a new connection (in time setting format). Defaults to `30s`.
`transport.compress`	Set to `true` to enable compression (`DEFLATE`) between all nodes. Defaults to `false`.
`transport.ping_schedule`	Schedule a regular application-level ping message to ensure that transport connections between nodes are kept alive. Defaults to `5s` in the transport client and `-1` (disabled) elsewhere. It is preferable to correctly configure TCP keep-alives instead of using this feature, because TCP keep-alives apply to all kinds of long-lived connections and not just to transport connections.

It also uses the common network settings.

Transport profilesedit

Elasticsearch allows you to bind to multiple ports on different interfaces by the use of transport profiles. See this example configuration

transport.profiles.default.port: 9300-9400
transport.profiles.default.bind_host: 10.0.0.1
transport.profiles.client.port: 9500-9600
transport.profiles.client.bind_host: 192.168.0.1
transport.profiles.dmz.port: 9700-9800
transport.profiles.dmz.bind_host: 172.16.1.2

The default profile is special. It is used as a fallback for any other profiles, if those do not have a specific configuration setting set, and is how this node connects to other nodes in the cluster.

The following parameters can be configured on each transport profile, as in the example above:

port: The port to bind to
bind_host: The host to bind
publish_host: The host which is published in informational APIs
tcp.no_delay: Configures the TCP_NO_DELAY option for this socket
tcp.keep_alive: Configures the SO_KEEPALIVE option for this socket
tcp.keep_idle: Configures the TCP_KEEPIDLE option for this socket, which determines the time in seconds that a connection must be idle before starting to send TCP keepalive probes. Only applicable on Linux and Mac, and requires JDK 11 or newer. Defaults to -1, which does not set this option at the socket level, but uses default system configuration instead.
tcp.keep_interval: Configures the TCP_KEEPINTVL option for this socket, which determines the time in seconds between sending TCP keepalive probes. Only applicable on Linux and Mac, and requires JDK 11 or newer. Defaults to -1, which does not set this option at the socket level, but uses default system configuration instead.
tcp.keep_count: Configures the TCP_KEEPCNT option for this socket, which determines the number of unacknowledged TCP keepalive probes that may be sent on a connection before it is dropped. Only applicable on Linux and Mac, and requires JDK 11 or newer. Defaults to -1, which does not set this option at the socket level, but uses default system configuration instead.
tcp.reuse_address: Configures the SO_REUSEADDR option for this socket
tcp.send_buffer_size: Configures the send buffer size of the socket
tcp.receive_buffer_size: Configures the receive buffer size of the socket

Long-lived idle connectionsedit

Elasticsearch opens a number of long-lived TCP connections between each pair of nodes in the cluster, and some of these connections may be idle for an extended period of time. Nonetheless, Elasticsearch requires these connections to remain open, and it can disrupt the operation of the cluster if any inter-node connections are closed by an external influence such as a firewall. It is important to configure your network to preserve long-lived idle connections between Elasticsearch nodes, for instance by leaving tcp.keep_alive enabled and ensuring that the keepalive interval is shorter than any timeout that might cause idle connections to be closed, or by setting transport.ping_schedule if keepalives cannot be configured.

Request compressionedit

By default, the transport.compress setting is false and network-level request compression is disabled between nodes in the cluster. This default normally makes sense for local cluster communication as compression has a noticeable CPU cost and local clusters tend to be set up with fast network connections between nodes.

The transport.compress setting always configures local cluster request compression and is the fallback setting for remote cluster request compression. If you want to configure remote request compression differently than local request compression, you can set it on a per-remote cluster basis using the cluster.remote.${cluster_alias}.transport.compress setting.

Response compressionedit

The compression settings do not configure compression for responses. Elasticsearch will compress a response if the inbound request was compressed—even when compression is not enabled. Similarly, Elasticsearch will not compress a response if the inbound request was uncompressed—even when compression is enabled.

Transport traceredit

The transport layer has a dedicated tracer logger which, when activated, logs incoming and out going requests. The log can be dynamically activated by setting the level of the org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService.tracer logger to TRACE:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
   "transient" : {
      "logger.org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService.tracer" : "TRACE"
   }
}

You can also control which actions will be traced, using a set of include and exclude wildcard patterns. By default every request will be traced except for fault detection pings:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
   "transient" : {
      "transport.tracer.include" : "*",
      "transport.tracer.exclude" : "internal:coordination/fault_detection/*"
   }
}
