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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Here I go replying to my own questions again. ES spreads Lucene files over all data paths and that means that checkIndex doesn't work as it expects all files to be in one directory. What I did was to create a directory and then make symlinks to all the files across all data paths and then run checkIndex. This works as expected.
