Add cluster reindexing feature to our ES integration
What does this MR do?
This MR automates steps for the cluster reindexing process gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#2213 (closed)
To schedule a reindexing job you will need to run rake gitlab:elastic:reindex_cluster
which will create a ReindexingTask
record.
ElasticClusterReindexingCronWorker
runs every minute and executes a job with in_progress
flag. We can only have 1 job with this flag since we have a unique index.
Reindexing logic/stages
After we create a ReindexingTask
it has initial
stage
-
initial
stage is needed to complete initial checks (i.e. storage requirements) and to enable indexing pause feature. We expect a delay between stages to be enough for existing indexing requests to complete. -
reindexing
stage creates a new index and triggers Elasticsearch reindex API -
in_progress
stage is the polling stage, we're waiting for the task to complete - As final stages we have
success
andfailure
