Hi Guys,

We were using elastic search 1.2.1 and suddenly everything stopped working  
with queries failing. Looking at the logs, it was throwing messages like  
this:

[2015-03-11 18:47:37,183][DEBUG][action.search.type] [Doctor  
Strange] All shards failed for phase: [query\_fetch]

We deleted everything and even upgraded the instance to the latest version[elasticsearch-1.4.4].  
But still queries are not working. All our data is in MySQL and our index  
is very small. Deleted all the index, recreated it after the upgrade but  
still not able to recover from the error. There is something particular  
with our Production machine as everything is working well in our Test  
server. But elastic search is not giving us enough debug to diagnose the  
problem. The latest error message after restart of elasticsearch is this:

I think you should open an issue with the full description you wrote so far.  
NullPointerException is something we should avoid...

Thanks David for the reply. But things were very strange. I have now  
recovered from the issue by creating a completely new machine and  
installing Elasticsearch and doing a fresh indexing. I could do this only  
because my index was small. But to give a bit more background, I had  
my Elasticsearch 1.2.1 installed my RPM and then as I could not recover, I  
installed a new one in a new directory by doing a unzip. I then tried  
everything to reindex but nothing worked. The index status will stay yellow  
for a while and will suddenly turn red and the queries will stop working. I  
would like to use my old installation but I am afraid it is not starting up  
with my index. I will go and open an issue still.

Thanks,  
Anjan
