Hey Guys,

I have a 1 node Logstash/ElasticSearch server and the disk went full. In  
order to recover I thought I'd just delete some old indices with:

curl -XDELETE '[http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.05.##](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.05.##)

Which went fine, I now have some free disk space. But then the current  
shard still wouldn't recover and I get the following messages (see below).  
I can't find anything on the "No version type match" using Google. Does  
anyone have any ideas?
