Hi All, I am indexing continuous stream of records, I have cluster of 5 nodes and number of shards in one index is 4. Node 0 --\> shard0 of index1 Node 1 --\> shard1 of index2 Node 2 --\> shard2 of index3 Node 3 --\> shard3 of index4 Node 4 --\> no of index5 If node4 goes down, then there is no impact on ingestion performance. but, if any node from Node0 to Node3 is down, then the ingestion will stop and throw following exception. org.elasticsearch.action.NoShardAvailableActionException: [marchived\_ipdr\_205244][1] No shard available for [[marchived\_ipdr\_205244][marchived\_ipdr][c1b03b7e07033edc63cbd98c52a28bfa]: routing [null]] By exception it is clear that, the shard[1] is not available. Please help to resolve the issue. Thanks, Ankit Jain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Please find the correct node details: Node 0 --\> serve shard0 of index1 Node 1 --\> serve shard1 of index1 Node 2 --\> serve shard2 of index1 Node 3 --\> serve shard3 of index1 Node 4 --\> serve zero shard of index1 Thanks, Ankit On Thursday, 11 July 2013 19:48:03 UTC+5:30, Ankit Jain wrote: > Hi All, > > I am indexing continuous stream of records, I have cluster of 5 nodes and > number of shards in one index is 4. > > Node 0 --\> shard0 of index1 > Node 1 --\> shard1 of index2 > Node 2 --\> shard2 of index3 > Node 3 --\> shard3 of index4 > Node 4 --\> no of index5 > > If node4 goes down, then there is no impact on ingestion performance. but, > if any node from Node0 to Node3 is down, then the ingestion will stop and > throw following exception. > > org.elasticsearch.action.NoShardAvailableActionException: > [marchived\_ipdr\_205244][1] No shard available for > [[marchived\_ipdr\_205244][marchived\_ipdr][c1b03b7e07033edc63cbd98c52a28bfa]: > routing [null]] > > By exception it is clear that, the shard[1] is not available. > > Please help to resolve the issue. > > Thanks, > Ankit Jain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
