Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch fails to verify the version of a snapshot during a job execution. This could be due to a mismatch between the snapshot version and the Elasticsearch version, or the snapshot might be corrupted. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Ensure that the snapshot version matches the Elasticsearch version. 2) Check the integrity of the snapshot and restore it again if it’s corrupted. 3) If the error persists, consider creating a new snapshot.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” [” + params.getJobId() + “] Failed verifying snapshot version ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: plugin, task.
Overview
A task is an Elasticsearch operation, which can be any request performed on an Elasticsearch cluster, such as a delete by query request, a search request and so on. Elasticsearch provides a dedicated Task API for the task management which includes various actions, from retrieving the status of current running tasks to canceling any long running task.
Examples
Get all currently running tasks on all nodes of the cluster
Apart from other information, the response of the below request contains task IDs of all the tasks which can be used to get detailed information about the particular task in question.
GET _tasks
Get detailed information of a particular task
Where clQFAL_VRrmnlRyPsu_p8A:1132678759 is the ID of the task in below request
GET _tasks/clQFAL_VRrmnlRyPsu_p8A:1132678759
Get all the current tasks running on particular nodes
GET _tasks?nodes=nodeId1,nodeId2
Cancel a task
Where clQFAL_VRrmnlRyPsu_p8A:1132678759 is the ID of the task in the below request
POST /_tasks/clQFAL_VRrmnlRyPsu_p8A:1132678759/_cancel?pretty
Notes
- The Task API will be most useful when you want to investigate the spike of resource utilization in the cluster or want to cancel an operation.
