In my test, I was running with a single shard and no replica for test
index. Just before storage running out of disk space, it was all OK.
health index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
green test\_insert 1 0 23307898 0 95.6gb 95.6gb
However after the disk was full, no documents counts are reported.
health index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
red test\_insert 1 0
Storage had some room created afterwards :
before :
/dev/sda 100666 99058 569 100% /iscsi\_disk1
After :
/dev/sda 100666 89480 10147 90% /iscsi\_disk1
But index did not recover on it;s own. Is it possible to recover the index
from this state ?
Thanks
Ajay
