> How to remove write-lock for elasticsearch segment after reindexing? Looking at the stack trace there is a missing Lucene file which is not good. Did this index/shard have any docs in it before shutdown? Can you list the current files in the `data1/data/nodes/0/indices/XqfshaweRp-5GAXbK7C_qA/23/index` directory?

There is no need to manually remove anything from the data path. The error you shared is not a big problem and (as long as nothing else is wrong) Elasticsearch will resolve it itself. ---
