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] missing at org.elasticsearch.indices.InternalIndicesService.indexServiceSafe(InternalIndicesService.java:243) at org.elasticsearch.action.mlt.TransportMoreLikeThisAction$1.onResponse(TransportMoreLikeThisAction.java:114) at org.elasticsearch.action.mlt.TransportMoreLikeThisAction$1.onResponse(TransportMoreLikeThisAction.java:105) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.TransportAction$ThreadedActionListener$1.run(TransportAction.java:86) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) 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, Ivan -- ---

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](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2197) 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.
