I recently ran into an issue where my cluster is reporting an IndexMissingException. I tried deleting the faulty index, but I keep getting the same error returned. How do I fix this problem? $ curl -XDELETE '[http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.09.04.11](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.09.04.11)' {"error":"IndexMissingException[[logstash-2014.09.04.11] missing]","status":404} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
