Hi, guys: These days we met a very strange thing. We can't create index in the cluster. Once we inserted a simple doc, the cluster will become red and new created index are showed unassigned. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thank you very much! -Regards- -Jackie- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, Martijn: There is no special log when inserting the simple doc. The ES version is 0.20.4. And through status api, I found some logs like: failures: [ { index: 'w235', shard: 9, reason: 'BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[w235][9] ]; nested: RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ' }, { index: 'w235', shard: 16, reason: 'BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[w235][16] ]; nested: RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ' } ], failed: 2 } 在 2013年2月4日星期一UTC+8下午4时28分15秒，Martijn v Groningen写道： > Hi, > > When create an index or insert that simple doc what do you see in your > logs?

By the way, it won't become failure for every index. For some indices, they can be created successfully. But for some inices, it will show as unassigned shards and make the cluster become to red. 在 2013年2月5日星期二UTC+8上午10时26分34秒，jackiedong写道： > curl -XPOST localhost:9200/w235/type -d '{"test":"test"}' > > 在 2013年2月4日星期一UTC+8下午11时13分57秒，Martijn v Groningen写道： > > > Can you show how you execute that index request with that simple json > > document? > > > > On 4 February 2013 16:10, jackiedong [jackie...@gmail.com](mailto:jackie...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > > > Hi, Martijn: > > > There is no special log when inserting the simple doc. > > > The ES version is 0.20.4. > > > And through status api, I found some logs like: > > > failures: > > > [ { index: 'w235', > > > shard: 9, > > > reason: 'BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[w235][9] ]; > > > nested: RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception response > > > from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize > > > exception response from stream]; nested: > > > StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ' }, > > > { index: 'w235', > > > shard: 16, > > > reason: 'BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[w235][16] ]; > > > nested: RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception response > > > from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize > > > exception response from stream]; nested: > > > StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ' } ], > > > failed: 2 } > > > > > > 在 2013年2月4日星期一UTC+8下午4时28分15秒，Martijn v Groningen写道： > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > When create an index or insert that simple doc what do you see in your > > > > logs?
