Hi Folks,  
We have ES 1.7  
I've tried to add data directory to path.data both comma delimited or array: path1,path2 or ["path1","path2"]  
After rolling restart I got a lot of following:  
[INFO][indices.store] [node1] Failed to open / find files while reading metadata snapshot  
and all indeces gone.  
Removing second path and restarting cluster nodes again helped to get almost all data back.

Please help!
