Hi, I am getting the below AccessDeniedException few times, why is this happening? ``` failed to execute operation for shard [[itcorrelationdata][13], node[UglfakcZQsmt1BTIBqk84g], [R], v[658], s[STARTED], a[id=sw4fwjbGRiaCfosyZZYosA]] ElasticsearchException[failed to refresh store stats]; nested: AccessDeniedException[H:\Data\ittesprod\nodes\0\indices\itcorrelationdata\13\index\_40tj_Lucene54_0.dvd]; at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store$StoreStatsCache.refresh(Store.java:1532) at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store$StoreStatsCache.refresh(Store.java:1517) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.SingleObjectCache.getOrRefresh(SingleObjectCache.java:55) at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store.stats(Store.java:293) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.IndexShard.storeStats(IndexShard.java:702) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.CommonStats.(CommonStats.java:134) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.TransportIndicesStatsAction.shardOperation(TransportIndicesStatsAction.java:165) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.TransportIndicesStatsAction.shardOperation(TransportIndicesStatsAction.java:47) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.onShardOperation(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:436) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:415) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:402) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportRequestHandler.java:33) ``` ---

Who owns that file and what permissions does it have? What user are you running ES as? ---

ES is running as local system. I didn't changed anything on the file/share permissions. Those are the files being created by ES/Lucene only. ---

Any solution for this issue. I am facing the same kind of issue when I changed my tokenizer to ngram tokenizer. The ES is working as windows service with system account. And system account is having all the permission to write to the folder. Earlier I never encountered this issue. To test something I changed my tokenizer to Ngram tokenizer and this issue starts to occur. At the same time the created index faces an issue of shard getting de-allocated time and again and I have to delete the index to bring back the cluster to green again . Any help or suggestion will be greatly [appreciated.ES](http://appreciated.ES) version which I am using is ES 2.3.3 .Adding the log here ``` [2017-03-06 21:28:45,373][DEBUG][action.admin.indices.stats] [sesseri02128_slave_1] [indices:monitor/stats] failed to execute operation for shard [[er_sl_ngam_test][0], node[eqJmzy9tQliGvSfdVO6X1Q], [R], v[6], s[INITIALIZING], a[id=eVRtFS-USBCmB5cDubuysg], unassigned_info[[reason=NODE_LEFT], at[2017-03-06T20:22:46.909Z], details[node_left[dTDN50s9RtefCUzJ2WFtBA]]], expected_shard_size[7246282300]] ElasticsearchException[failed to refresh store stats]; nested: AccessDeniedException[E:\elasticsearch-2.3.3_NiteshCluster_Slave1\data\metis_dev_cluster\nodes\0\indices\er_sl_ngam_test\0\index\_1ag_Lucene54_0.dvd]; at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store$StoreStatsCache.refresh(Store.java:1532) at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store$StoreStatsCache.refresh(Store.java:1517) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.SingleObjectCache.getOrRefresh(SingleObjectCache.java:55) at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store.stats(Store.java:293) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.IndexShard.storeStats(IndexShard.java:702) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.CommonStats.(CommonStats.java:134) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.TransportIndicesStatsAction.shardOperation(TransportIndicesStatsAction.java:165) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.stats.TransportIndicesStatsAction.shardOperation(TransportIndicesStatsAction.java:47) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.onShardOperation(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:420) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:399) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$BroadcastByNodeTransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:386) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportRequestHandler.messageReceived(TransportRequestHandler.java:33) at org.elasticsearch.transport.RequestHandlerRegistry.processMessageReceived(RequestHandlerRegistry.java:75) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler$RequestHandler.doRun(MessageChannelHandler.java:300) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.AbstractRunnable.run(AbstractRunnable.java:37) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: E:\elasticsearch-2.3.3_NiteshCluster_Slave1\data\metis_dev_cluster\nodes\0\indices\er_sl_ngam_test\0\index\_1ag_Lucene54_0.dvd ``` ---
