Hello

We had a 2 node setup in a elasticsearch cluster with no replica setting.  
By mistake 1 node is deleted, now the cluster status is in red.  
Is there any way to make cluster status Yellow ?  
We do not care data which got lost from deleted node.

Please suggest.

Since you index does not have replicas, I guess all your indexes are broken now as shards on the deleted node are gone. Do you mean you want to keep the data on the node that you haven't deleted? If yes, I don't think it's possible.

@nrmohta What version of ES are you running? What do you mean by one node being deleted? The node was removed?
