With https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/81870, the Azure, GCS, and S3 repository types have separate, dedicated pages in the Elasticsearch guide. For consistency, this PR creates separate pages for the shared file system, read-only URL, and source-only repository types. Related changes: - Adds redirects to the plugins docs - Fixes a few breaking changes that refer to the Azure, GCS, and S3 repositories as plugins. Co-authored-by: Adam Locke <adam.locke@elastic.co>

=== Source-only repository
|
|
|
|
You can use a source-only repository to take minimal, source-only snapshots that
|
|
use up to 50% less disk space than regular snapshots.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other repository types, a source-only repository doesn't directly store
|
|
snapshots. It delegates storage to another registered snapshot repository.
|
|
|
|
When you take a snapshot using a source-only repository, {es} creates a
|
|
source-only snapshot in the delegated storage repository. This snapshot only
|
|
contains stored fields and metadata. It doesn't include index or doc values
|
|
structures and isn't immediately searchable when restored. To search the
|
|
restored data, you first have to <<docs-reindex,reindex>> it into a new data
|
|
stream or index.
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
Source-only snapshots are only supported if the `_source` field is enabled and no source-filtering is applied.
|
|
When you restore a source-only snapshot:
|
|
|
|
* The restored index is read-only and can only serve `match_all` search or scroll requests to enable reindexing.
|
|
|
|
* Queries other than `match_all` and `_get` requests are not supported.
|
|
|
|
* The mapping of the restored index is empty, but the original mapping is available from the types top
|
|
level `meta` element.
|
|
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
Before registering a source-only repository, use {kib} or the
|
|
<<put-snapshot-repo-api,create snapshot repository API>> to register a snapshot
|
|
repository of another type to use for storage. Then register the source-only
|
|
repository and specify the delegated storage repository in the request.
