Create Index Snapshot
These endpoints allow Gerrit admins to create index snapshots. Created snapshots can be used as a backup of the index.
It is possible to create a snapshot of all indexes, snapshot of one index or snapshot of one index version.
The snapshots will be stored on the server at $SITE/index/snapshots/$ID
.
The $ID
can be optionally provided in SnapshotIndex.Input
or will default to the current local time in ISO8601 format.
Only snapshots of indexes that Gerrit currently writes to can be created.
Note, that the creation of multiple snapshots, e.g. of different index versions, is not atomic. If a consistent state over multiple indexes is required, the server has to be put into read-only mode before creating the snapshot.
Create Snapshot of All Indexes
'POST /config/server/snapshot.indexes HTTP/1.0'
POST /config/server/snapshot.indexes HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "id": "snapshot-1" }
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}' { "id": "snapshot-1" }
Create Snapshot of one Index
'POST /config/server/indexes/{index-name}/snapshot'
This creates a snapshot of all write index versions of the specified index.
POST /config/server/indexes/accounts/snapshot HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "id": "snapshot-1" }
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}' { "id": "snapshot-1" }
Create Snapshot of one Index Version
'POST /config/server/indexes/{index-name}/versions/#index-version[{index-version}]/snapshot'
This creates a snapshot of one index version of the specified index.
POST /config/server/indexes/changes/versions/84/snapshot HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "id": "snapshot-1" }
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}' { "id": "snapshot-1" }
Reindex an Index Version
'POST /config/server/indexes/{index-name}/versions/#index-version[{index-version}]/reindex'
This endpoint allows to trigger background reindexing of an index version. It is also supported to specify whether to reuse existing up-to-date (non-stale) index documents and whether to notifyListeners or not.
POST /config/server/indexes/changes/versions/84/reindex HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "reuse": "true", "notifyListeners": "false" }
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}'
