Dangling Index Errors

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've run the logstash pipeline to index data in my cluster (3 master, data and ingest eligible) and 1 coordinating node. That time, i havent checked that the 2 nodes (not coordinating nodes) are down and this throws an error in on of my master eligible node. Can somebody explain this to me? Dont know what happened then.

Hey,

the docs might help here, https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/_dangling_indices.html

The site seems not straightforward of why it happened.
Anyways, i resolved it by deleting the node directories.

Thanks!!
