Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch struggles to update the routing information for a specific model. This could be due to network issues, insufficient permissions, or a problem with the model itself. To resolve this, you can try to check the network connectivity, ensure the user has the correct permissions, or verify the integrity of the model. If the problem persists, consider restarting the Elasticsearch service or even the entire server.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” [%s] failed to update model routing info with [%s] ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: plugin, routing.
Overview
In Elasticsearch, routing refers to document routing. When you index a document, Elasticsearch will determine which shard the document should be routed to for indexing.
The shard is selected based on the following formula:
shard = hash(_routing) % number_of_primary_shards
Where the default value of _routing is _id.
It is important to know which shard the document is routed to, because Elasticsearch will need to determine where to find that document later on for document retrieval requests.
Examples
In twitter index with 2 primary shards, the document with _id equal to “440” gets routed to the shard number:
shard = hash( 440 ) % 2
PUT twitter/_doc/440
{
...
}Notes and good things to know
- In order to improve search speed, you can create custom routing. For example, you can enable custom routing that will ensure that only a single shard will be queried (the shard that contains your data).
- To create custom routing in Elasticsearch, you will need to configure and define that not all routing will be completed by default settings. ( v <= 5.0)
PUT my_index/customer/_mapping
{
"order":{
"_routing":{
"required":true
}
}
}- This will ensure that every document in the “customer” type must specify a custom routing. For Elasticsearch version 6 or above you will need to update the same mapping as:
PUT my_index/_mapping
{
"order":{
"_routing":{
"required":true
}
}
}Log Context
Log “[%s] failed to update model routing info with [%s]” classname is TrainedModelAssignmentNodeService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
new UpdateTrainedModelAssignmentRoutingInfoAction.Request(nodeId; modelId; update);
ActionListener.wrap(success -> {
logger.debug(() -> format("[%s] model routing info was updated with [%s] and master notified"; modelId; update));
listener.onResponse(AcknowledgedResponse.TRUE);
}; error -> {
logger.warn(() -> format("[%s] failed to update model routing info with [%s]"; modelId; update); error);
listener.onFailure(error);
})
);
}
