We have 30 million entries in our current index, and we're getting a search context missing exception problem during reindexing. Can somebody assist me with this?

```auto

error "type": "search_phase_execution_exception",
"reason": "all shards failed",
"phase": "query",
"grouped": true,
"failed_shards": [
{
"shard": -1,
"index": null,
"reason": {
"type": "search_context_missing_exception",
"reason": "No search context found for id [89935]"
}
},

```
