Hi,

I've a single node cluster that store data on SCSI disks. The machine lost  
its power and on starting the ES cluster again, I'm unable to recover one  
of the index. Is there any way to recover this index as I don't have any  
replicas for it. Is indexing from .fdt and .fdx files an option?

Gist for the log is  
[https://gist.github.com/anandnalya/5983737#file-elasticsearch-log](https://gist.github.com/anandnalya/5983737#file-elasticsearch-log). I'm also  
attaching the full log.

Thanks,  
Anand
