Corrupt index creation when elasticsearch is killed just after index is created

Hi all
I am facing an issue of corrupt index creation, whenever the es node is
killed just after the index is created. When the node is restarted, the
index shows 3/4 shards corrupt, with 503 status, which never recover, and
as a result, my indexing gets stuck. I am doing this on a single node, with
es version 90.1 . Please help me out.

Thanks
Tarang Dawer

Hey,

can you reliably recreate this? And try to create a gist? Preferrably, when
using elasticsearch 0.90.9. When you create an index, you usually create 5
shards, so, how can 3/4 shards be corrupt? Did you change anything and do
not use the defaults (are you changing the defaults somewhere else as
well)? It would be great if you could provide a reproducible example using
a gist, like mentioned in Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

i have reliably recreated this many times, happens while creating index on
a single node, (default 5 shards). i have set "action.auto_create_index:
false" , "discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false" & "node.master=true"
so i am creating indices via java API, . i kill(Kill -9 ) the elasticsearch
immediately after the index is created. when i restart the elasticsearch,
out of the 5 primary shards, it shows 3/4 shards in a corrupt state, with
"503" status code.

tried this on 90.9 also . This time after the restart when i get the index
status as :-

In the elasticsearch head plugin, it shows the cluster is in red state,
with no shards being allocated to the node even after the restart of
elasticsearch.

While browsing for this issue, i came across a comment from spinscale @

It says here, that after creating an index, it takes some time for index to
be fully functional, what i am facing as i think, is that if the node gets
killed during that time, then the index gets corrupted and indexing stops
with UnavailableShardsException being thrown.
is there some setting so that i can make sure that index creation call gets
returned only after that index is fully functional ? that would solve my
problem, as the index if created would be fully functional , if not then
the code will go again to create the index again.

index creation call is only made when indexmissing exception is thrown frm
elasticsearch. so in a multithreaded mode, where 1 thread goes for index
creation & creates a corrupt index, where as the other one finds the
corrupt index(no index missing exception thrown) , & eventually throws
unavailable shards exception.
for this scenario, i would be required to check waitForYellow request
before every indexing call. that would be extremely taxing on the
performance.

Hey,

can you reliably recreate this? And try to create a gist? Preferrably,
when using elasticsearch 0.90.9. When you create an index, you usually
create 5 shards, so, how can 3/4 shards be corrupt? Did you change anything
and do not use the defaults (are you changing the defaults somewhere else
as well)? It would be great if you could provide a reproducible example
using a gist, like mentioned in Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

Hi all
I am facing an issue of corrupt index creation, whenever the es node
is killed just after the index is created. When the node is restarted, the
index shows 3/4 shards corrupt, with 503 status, which never recover, and
as a result, my indexing gets stuck. I am doing this on a single node, with
es version 90.1 . Please help me out.

Thanks

If you kill Elasticsearch immediately after creating the index, you
interrupt the process of shard allocation. When you restart Elasticsearch,
it assumes that the shards have been allocated somewhere and so doesn't try
to assign new shards to prevent any data loss.

The index itself isn't corrupt, it is just missing primary shards. You can
force the missing shards to be allocated using the cluster reroute API

you will need to set allow_primary to true.

Thanks clinton.
But shouldn't index creation be an atomic operation, and the call should
only return after the index is "properly" created, otherwise show a
indexmissing exception, or should automatically look for unassigned primary
shards for an index after the restart ?

All ES API calls are by default asynchronous and eventually consistent
(quorum).

For document indexing, you can use the refresh API call to make them
visible for search.

For index creation operation, you can add the parameter "replication=sync"
and "consistency=all" to your API call to ensure that ES will wait for all
replica shards and all nodes to complete successfully before returning.

Thanks for your response Jörg.

"replication=sync" and "consistency=all" would be required to be set in the
settings while creating the index. ?

also, these settings would only be applied during index creation or would
also be applied for all the subsequent indexing operations for the
particular index created by using these settings .?

Sorry my fault. I stand corrected. There is replication=sync and
consistency=all, but just for index creation that is triggered by a
document creation, and the index does not yet exist (auto creation). It's
not there for explicit index creation (where there is no document to be
created).

In case you explicitly execute index creation, you can add a master node
timeout to the operation, and if it exceeds, the operation will return that
is was not acknowledged by all nodes.

Never, never, never kill -9 and expect any application to properly and
cleanly shut down. Never.

The -9 signal cannot be caught by the process to which it is directed. The
process is ended in the middle for whatever it is doing.

Issue a normal kill, and then ES (via the JVM) will have a chance to finish
up whatever it is working on, and then shut down cleanly.
