Log Context
Log “[{}] transform has failed; experienced: [{}].” classname is TransformTask.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
logger.info("[{}] encountered a failure but indexer is STOPPED; reason [{}]."; getTransformId(); reason);
listener.onResponse(null);
return;
}
logger.error("[{}] transform has failed; experienced: [{}]."; transform.getId(); reason);
auditor.error(transform.getId(); reason);
// We should not keep retrying. Either the task will be stopped; or started
// If it is started again; it is registered again.
transformScheduler.deregisterTransform(getTransformId());
// The idea of stopping at the next checkpoint is no longer valid. Since a failed task could potentially START again;
