We want to do elasticsearch failure exercises, but currently we can only simulate some simple failures, such as network interruption and process death. The remaining deep-level failures are not well simulated. I would like to ask how the official elasticsearch developers simulate failures and conduct failure tests. Do you have any good suggestions in this regard?

You already asked a similar question at [How to simulate the failure of elasticsearch？](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-simulate-the-failure-of-elasticsearch/269149)

Let's keep the discussion in a single place.

Thanks!
