Hi
I have Elastic search version 7.16.3, in this one index is showing RED and when i tried recover it using CheckIndex command "java -cp lucene-core-8.10.1.jar -ea:org.apache.lucene… org.apache.lucene.index.CheckIndex C:\Program Files\data\elasticsearch\data\nodes\0\indices_NHgtxr9TCWE2bYp_hk-nA\0\index\segments_g60\ -verbose -exorcise" its giving following error

NOTE: testing will be more thorough if you run java with '-ea:org.apache.lucene...', so assertions are enabled

Opening index @ C:\PROGRA~1\data\elasticsearch\data\nodes\0\indices_NHgtxr9TCWE2bYp_hk-nA\0\index\

there is no Elastic upgrade performed on this setup, it was working previously on same ES version version 7.16.3.

Thanks warkolm for reply,
System got restarted due to some Windows upgrade and after that it start showing RED, Segment file which was there have different format its starting with "INDX( " while correct one was starting with "?×lsegments", dont know how it happened but now not able to recover it :frowning:
