IndexMissingException when using MoreLike

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have been getting occasional IndexMissingExceptions, but only when using
MoreLike. The request uses an alias and the exception points to the correct
index.

Not only do searches work fine, but the MoreLike request that failed
actually returns a proper response. Perhaps one node is incorrect? Hard to
debug due to multiple threads. Here is the exception:

org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexMissingException: [products-20120919-114007]

Running ES 0.19.8 via the TransportClient. The index does not have shards
on every node of the cluster due to the distribution of shards across the
nodes. Shouldn't be an issue, just an FYI.

Cheers,

Quick correction: the failed MoreLike request does not return a valid
response. My error handling code (inherited!) for exceptions was faulty.

It looks like IndexMissingException when calling _mlt on client node · Issue #2197 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub
only instead of executing request on the node client, it fails when request
is getting executed on the node where your index doesn't have any shards.

Thanks. I searched the mailing list (and found another with the same
issue), but not the actual issues.

I suspected that not having the index have shards on every node might
be a problem, which is why I mentioned it. I found other
inconsistencies and created a full replication, but luckily you
responded first.

Cheers,

Ivan
