Configure Namespaces for Aerospike Connect for Elasticsearch

The namespaces section of the aerospike-elasticsearch-outbound.yaml file overrides settings for bin-name transformations, routing modes, and serialization formats.

Option	Required	Description
bin-transforms	no	Bin transforms for the namespace.
routing	no	Routing for the namespace.
format	no	Format for the namespace.
sets	no	Map of set name to bin-transform, routing and format configuration.

The order of preference for picking the configuration for the bin-transforms, routing and format for a given record are:

set, if configured
namespace, if configured
default

caution

If the route or format are not specified for a record, the record is skipped.
Set name is not shipped for a delete, which means set-specific routing can never be applied to a delete. In this case, the writes are routed according to set configuration, but the deletes are routed according to the namespace configuration. This can result in unintentionally routing writes and deletes to different destinations.

Example

This example implements the following rules:

Namespace	Set	Routing	Format	Bin Transforms	Action
users			`custom`		Write record in custom format.
users	`premium`		`custom` (with `flat-json` payload)	`uppercase`	Convert all bin names to upper case and format them in custom format where a custom formatter receives `flat-json` payload.
users	`blackList`	`skip`			Skip sending data of blackList set to Elasticsearch.
places					Skip record, since routing or format information is missing.

...
format:
  mode: custom
