I recently had a problem with an index and after searching the net I decided to give checkIndex a try. I found the class in the right jar but I haven't been able to get it to check an index. For example when I run checkIndex -verbose ...heat-analyzer/7/index I get: ERROR: could not read any segments file in directory java.io.FileNotFoundException: ...heat-analyzer/7/index/segments\_37l (No such file or directory) That is correct, the directory contains: \_checksums-1397035754356 \_j85h\_es090\_0.blm \_j8fu.cfe \_j91a.cfs \_isy5.nvm \_j86v.cfe \_j8g4.cfs \_j95w\_es090\_0.tim \_j821.si \_j870.cfs \_j8hl.si \_j963.si \_j82l.cfs \_j898\_Lucene45\_0.dvd \_j8ln.cfs \_j968.cfs \_j838.cfe \_j8ap.cfe \_j8t6.cfe \_j975.si \_j83a.fdx \_j8b6.cfs \_j8tb\_es090\_0.doc \_j9b9.cfs \_j83o.nvd \_j8c1.si \_j8tp.cfs \_j9di\_es090\_0.blm \_j83o.si \_j8cz.si \_j8v9.fnm \_j9e0.cfe \_j83p.nvd \_j8et.cfs \_j8yv.cfe segments.gen \_j84u.cfs \_j8fa.cfs \_j919.fdt write.lock I am running ES 1.1.0 and using the checkIndex from Lucene 4.7.0. Has anyone gotten checkIndex to work with this combination? ## /Michael This space intentionally left not blank. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Michael, Running checkindex from the command line can prove to be tricky, since checkindex is not aware of things like multi-data-path directories that you might be using with Elasticsearch. Moreover, you will need to add the Elasticsearch jars to the classpath since Elasticsearch customizes some of the index file formats. Elasticsearch has the ability to run checkindex when opening an index, see index.shard.check\_on\_startup[1]. When set to true, Elasticsearch will run checkindex when opening indices and prevent them from being open if they appear to be corrupted. In case of a failure, you will need to check out the logs in order to have details. Please not that this is not a live setting, so this can only be changed on a closed index.
