Hi, I am running 0.16.2, although we've encountered the same issue with 0.16.4, 0.16.5. Occasionally ES will, on startup, fail and show the error message (repeatedly) below. It says that "No commit point data is available in gateway". The current fix is to delete the gateway and index, and restart ES and start over. I'm running on a single machine, single server node (and one client node), and using the gateway just to persist my index. My config file is also below. Can you let me know what I might be doing wrong? The error occurences are random, as far as I can tell....

Seems like the gateway is missing some files. Is this something you can recreate easily so I can try and recreate it? A note on your configuration, I suggest moving to local gateway. It will reduce the load on the system, and won't require snapshotting to another directory (it can recover from its existing node data location), especially in your case where you have a one node cluster. I assume you have been using the shared gateway since before the local gateway was introduced, and never changed it?
