Log Context
Log “Synonym set [” + resourceName + “] not found” class name is SynonymsManagementAPIService.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
.setPreference(Preference.LOCAL.type())
.setTrackTotalHits(true)
.execute(new DelegatingIndexNotFoundActionListener<>(resourceName; listener; (l; searchResponse) -> {
final long totalSynonymRules = searchResponse.getHits().getTotalHits().value;
if (totalSynonymRules == 0) {
l.onFailure(new ResourceNotFoundException("Synonym set [" + resourceName + "] not found"));
return;
}
final SynonymRule[] synonymRules = Arrays.stream(searchResponse.getHits().getHits())
.map(SynonymsManagementAPIService::hitToSynonymRule)
.toArray(SynonymRule[]::new);
