Elastic App Search Indexing progress do not proceed v7.11.2

[nilrae (Nils Räfle)]

We have a problem in our self hosted Elastic App Search. The display for "Indexing progress" has been at 0% for some time. I do not found any API reference to start the index progress new.

Also when I try to update the engine schema via api over postman app i get this error:

{
    "errors": [
        "Engine is reindexing."
    ]
}

Thanks much for helping

Hey nilrae,

We experienced some bugs with the reindexing process with old versions of App Search. Sometimes the process was failing but its state was not reported properly, causing the process to be stuck in reindexing. It seems that you are using one of these versions.

Our best advice would be to update your App Search setup to the latest that is not affected by this issue.
