Hi,

After a recent deployment, all of our index disappeared. Although looks  
like the files are still there. I suspect it's because some changes i made,  
in the new deployment, the previous master nodes are no longer masters and  
cluster index info is lost.

How could I get back my indexes?

Best Regards

ES should recover them (as dangling indices  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway-local.html#\_dangling\_indices](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway-local.html#_dangling_indices)),  
what do your logs show?
