Hi guys,

I want to know if Elasticsearch snapshot is resilient against one node failing and restarting. Or maybe the NFS mount lost connection for an hour.

It happened to me and the snapshot seems to be still in progress but the node that was restarted is no longer transferring data to NFS.

I'm still waiting for it to complete but should I just delete the snapshot and start over? Or should I just stop the whole cluster and rsync the data?
