Hi, I am getting this error: [2012-12-11 05:20:26,143][WARN][index.merge.scheduler] [db-es1-sl] [users][1] failed to merge java.io.EOFException: read past EOF: NIOFSIndexInput(path="/home/es/data/production/nodes/0/indices/users/1/index/\_5nkis.fdt") at org.apache.lucene.store.BufferedIndexInput.readBytes(BufferedIndexInput.java:155) at org.apache.lucene.store.BufferedIndexInput.readBytes(BufferedIndexInput.java:111) at org.apache.lucene.store.DataOutput.copyBytes(DataOutput.java:132) at org.elasticsearch.index.store.Store$StoreIndexOutput.copyBytes(Store.java:665) at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldsWriter.addRawDocuments(FieldsWriter.java:228) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.copyFieldsWithDeletions(SegmentMerger.java:266) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.mergeFields(SegmentMerger.java:223) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.merge(SegmentMerger.java:107) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.mergeMiddle(IndexWriter.java:4263) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.merge(IndexWriter.java:3908) at org.apache.lucene.index.ConcurrentMergeScheduler.doMerge(ConcurrentMergeScheduler.java:388) at org.apache.lucene.index.TrackingConcurrentMergeScheduler.doMerge(TrackingConcurrentMergeScheduler.java:91) at org.apache.lucene.index.ConcurrentMergeScheduler$MergeThread.run(ConcurrentMergeScheduler.java:456) What does it mean ? As I found it might be connected with OutOfMemory error that I got yesterday, I restarted then the whole cluster and since then I've been getting this error. Each error is about index [users][1] and all are about the same path: /home/es/data/production/nodes/0/indices/users/1/index/\_5nkis.fdt What should I do to fix this ? Thank you Best regards.

I found that I should use CkeckIndex tu fix the index. I found > **[Lucene and Solr's CheckIndex to the Rescue! - DZone](https://dzone.com/articles/lucene-and-solrs-checkindex)** > > while using lucene and solr we are used to a very high reliability. however, there may come a day when solr will inform us that our index is corrupted, and we... And there is something like this there: "To run the utility, go to the directory where the Lucene library files are located..." Where Lucene library files are located if I installed ES using binary package (tar.gz) from [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org) website ? Thanks. Best regards.

OK, I found it. If anyone wants to know the answer. The lucene library is /lib/lucence-core-3.6.1.jar (for ES 0.20.1). In my case to fix the problem I run: java -cp lucene-core-3.6.1.jar -ea:org.apache.lucene... org.apache.lucene.index.CheckIndex /home/es/data/production/nodes/0/indices/users/1/index/ -fix Problem solved 🙂 2012/12/11 Marcin Dojwa [m.dojwa@livechatinc.com](mailto:m.dojwa@livechatinc.com) > I found that I should use CkeckIndex tu fix the index.
