Inconsistent data among nodes for one (or more) indexes (ES 0.11)

Pablo_Borges · October 8, 2010, 7:06pm

Here's one of the problems I got frequently.

I have a 5 node ES (using local storage) cluster running 8 indexes each with
thousands of documents (one of them with millions) and every now and then it
seems like replication breaks:

for node in n1 n2 n3 n4 n5; do
curl "http://${node}:9200/index/_count?q=*"

{"count":22408,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0}}
{"count":22408,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0}}
{"count":20230,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0}}
{"count":20230,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0}}
{"count":20230,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0}}

The only solution found so far is to recreate the index and reindex.

Any help will be really appreciatted!

Have you seen the problem with recovery and local gateway with more than one
index I posted? Also, do you see any exceptions in the log? The index seems
to have just one shard, how many replicas does it have?

Also, a few more points on the count:

Going to different nodes is irrelevant. The count will round robin
between the shards and be directed to the appropriate node(s).
Do you index while you execute the count? Have you changed the refresh
interval?

About 1. If you notice, I use only one shard per node, which means one of
them (al least) is bogged.
About 2. No. The data has been indexed sometime ago and updates are not
frequent.

No exceptions, but I needed to reduce my log level in order not to fill the
partition the logs are written (several search exceptions, which I'd like to
know if there's a way to disable)

Here's my logging.yml

rootLogger: INFO, console, file
logger:

log action execution errors for easier debugging

action : INFO

appender:
console:
type: console

I suggest you keep action on DEBUG, I can help with the search exceptions as
well.

IF they still happen, you might get into the near real time aspect of
elasticsearch ... . The question is if they are not the same once there are
no indexing going on. Also, note that there is a problem with multiple
indices and the local gateway.
