We're talking around 7 million actual docs at the moment.

We can't afford data loss. I'll try to reindex onto a new cluster.

As far as the logs go, there's nothing on a warning level about why it went down...

Thanks for raising that issue. She's a beaut'.

@yoitsro when you say the cluster goes down, do you mean you have to restart it? Or you just wait and it becomes responsive again?
