I Had two nodes independant not part of the cluster. I used logstash to index on each node. After i figured to configure the cluster, I added 2 nodes and one as client for kibana. Now when I start the cluster it repeadeatily says . Also from one node to another tried to reallocate beacause there was no space. Should i reindex from each node to a new cluster or is there another solution to fix this. I checked and the same index folder name lives in each host. All of the just only hava one partition primary. Any help?
Thanks in advance
