Hi All,

I am using Elastic Search 0.19.1 for our application. I am running 3 nodes  
with default settings except cluster.name. While indexing some documents I  
am getting following exception :

[2012-04-19 19:33:06,671][WARN][index.engine.robin] [Beckley,  
Benny] [nextlevel-bdm1][4] failed to flush after setting shard to inactive

Can anyone suggest me what could be the probable reason for the exception  
and what are the steps should follow to remove the exception?

Best,

You can ignore this failure, I will push a fix to not print this log  
message (its perfectly fine).
