  examples to show this.

Curator 4.0.0 alpha 3

4.0.0a3 (21 Apr 2016)

It's time for Curator 4.0!

Please note this is an alpha release and should be tested before using in a production environment.

Breaking Changes

• New API! (again?!)
• Command-line changes. No more command-line args, except for --config,
  --actions, and --dry-run:
  • --config points to a YAML client and logging configuration file.
    The default location is ~/.curator/curator.yml
  • --actions arg points to a YAML action configuration file
  • --dry-run will simulate the action(s) which would have taken place,
    but not actually make any changes to the cluster or its indices.

General

• Updated API documentation
• Updated use documentation for Elastic main site.
• Include example files for --config and --actions.

New Features

• Sort by index age not only by index name (as with previous versions of
  Curator), but also by index creation_date, or by calculations from the
  Field Stats API on a timestamp field.
• Class: IndexList. This pulls all indices at instantiation, and you apply
  filters, which are class methods. You can iterate over as many filters as
  you like, in fact, due to the YAML config file.
• Class: SnapshotList. This pulls all snapshots from the given repository at
  instantiation, and you apply filters, which are class methods. You can
  iterate over as many filters as you like, in fact, due to the YAML config
  file.
• YAML configuration files. Now a single file can define an entire batch of
  commands, each with their own filters, to be performed in sequence.
• Atomically add/remove indices from aliases! This is possible by way of the
  new IndexList class and YAML configuration files.
• State of indices pulled and stored in IndexList instance. Fewer API calls
  required to serially test for open/close, size_in_bytes, etc.
• Filter by space now allows sorting by age!
• Experimental! Use AWS IAM credentials to sign requests to Elasticsearch.
  This requires the end user to manually install the requests_aws4auth
  python module.
