I am still on ES 2.4. After bulk index is done,

1. update the following settings:  
{"number\_of\_replicas":1, "refresh\_interval":"30ms"} as I set refresh\_interval to 5s and number\_of\_replicas to 0 before indexing.
2. closed the new index
3. update this:  
"transient" : {  
"indices.store.throttle.type" : "merge"  
},
4. open the new index;
5. check the count of the new index. If the new count is ok comparing with the old count, I will switch the new index with the alias.

This was working.

But now I tried to set "refresh\_interval" to -1 before indexing;  
After bulk index is done, I refreshed the index: client.admin().indices().prepareRefresh().get() as I set refresh\_interval to -1;

but while I tried to get the count of the new index, it reported error:

RemoteTransportException[[Kehl of Tauran][127.0.0.1:9300][indices:data/read/search[phase/query]]]; nested: IndexNotFoundException[no such index];  
Caused by: [new\_index\_name] IndexNotFoundException[no such index]

...

[2017-05-24 14:52:22,766][INFO][cluster.routing.allocation] [Kehl of Tauran] Cluster health status changed from [RED] to [YELLOW] (reason: [shards started [[new\_index\_name][0], [new\_index\_name][0], [new\_index\_name][1]] ...]).

Seems elasticsearch shards are not on the right status. What should be done in what order when refresh\_interval is set to -1?

Thanks
