Elasticsearch for Kubernetes
This directory contains the source for a Docker image that creates an instance
of Elasticsearch 1.5.2 which can
be used to automatically form clusters when used
with replication controllers. This will not work with the library Elasticsearch image
because multicast discovery will not find the other pod IPs needed to form a cluster. This
image detects other Elasticsearch pods running in a specified namespace with a given
label selector. The detected instances are used to form a list of peer hosts which
are used as part of the unicast discovery mechansim for Elasticsearch. The detection
of the peer nodes is done by a program which communicates with the Kubernetes API
server to get a list of matching Elasticsearch pods. To enable authenticated
communication this image needs a secret to be mounted at /etc/apiserver-secret
with the basic authentication username and password.
Here is an example replication controller specification that creates 4 instances of Elasticsearch which is in the file music-rc.yaml.
apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
labels:
name: music-db
namespace: mytunes
name: music-db
spec:
replicas: 4
selector:
name: music-db
template:
metadata:
labels:
name: music-db
spec:
containers:
- name: es
image: kubernetes/elasticsearch:1.0
env:
- name: "CLUSTER_NAME"
value: "mytunes-db"
- name: "SELECTOR"
value: "name=music-db"
- name: "NAMESPACE"
value: "mytunes"
ports:
- name: es
containerPort: 9200
- name: es-transport
containerPort: 9300
volumeMounts:
- name: apiserver-secret
mountPath: /etc/apiserver-secret
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: apiserver-secret
secret:
secretName: apiserver-secret
The CLUSTER_NAME variable gives a name to the cluster and allows multiple separate clusters to
exist in the same namespace.
The SELECTOR variable should be set to a label query that identifies the Elasticsearch
nodes that should participate in this cluster. For our example we specify name=music-db to
match all pods that have the label name set to the value music-db.
The NAMESPACE variable identifies the namespace
to be used to search for Elasticsearch pods and this should be the same as the namespace specified
for the replication controller (in this case mytunes).
Before creating pods with the replication controller a secret containing the bearer authentication token should be set up. A template is provided in the file apiserver-secret.yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: apiserver-secret
namespace: NAMESPACE
data:
token: "TOKEN"
Replace NAMESPACE with the actual namespace to be used and TOKEN with the basic64 encoded
versions of the bearer token reported by kubectl config view e.g.
$ kubectl config view
...
- name: kubernetes-logging_kubernetes-basic-auth
...
token: yGlDcMvSZPX4PyP0Q5bHgAYgi1iyEHv2
...
$ echo yGlDcMvSZPX4PyP0Q5bHgAYgi1iyEHv2 | base64
eUdsRGNNdlNaUFg0UHlQMFE1YkhnQVlnaTFpeUVIdjIK=
resulting in the file:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: apiserver-secret
namespace: mytunes
data:
token: "eUdsRGNNdlNaUFg0UHlQMFE1YkhnQVlnaTFpeUVIdjIK="
which can be used to create the secret in your namespace:
kubectl create -f apiserver-secret.yaml --namespace=mytunes
secrets/apiserver-secret
Now you are ready to create the replication controller which will then create the pods:
$ kubectl create -f music-rc.yaml --namespace=mytunes
replicationcontrollers/music-db
It's also useful to have a service with an load balancer for accessing the Elasticsearch cluster which can be found in the file music-service.yaml.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: music-server
namespace: mytunes
labels:
name: music-db
spec:
selector:
name: music-db
ports:
- name: db
port: 9200
targetPort: es
type: LoadBalancer
Let's create the service with an external load balancer:
$ kubectl create -f music-service.yaml --namespace=mytunes
services/music-server
Let's see what we've got:
$ kubectl get pods,rc,services,secrets --namespace=mytunes

This shows 4 instances of Elasticsearch running. After making sure that port 9200 is accessible for this cluster (e.g. using a firewall rule for Google Compute Engine) we can make queries via the service which will be fielded by the matching Elasticsearch pods.
$ curl 104.197.12.157:9200
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Warpath",

}
$ curl 104.197.12.157:9200

We can query the nodes to confirm that an Elasticsearch cluster has been formed.

Let's ramp up the number of Elasticsearch nodes from 4 to 10:
$ kubectl scale --replicas=10 replicationcontrollers music-db --namespace=mytunes
scaled
$ kubectl get pods --namespace=mytunes
