Hi, I'm using ES 1.0.1 in a 10 node cluster and recently needed to add support for indexing documents in Japanese. To do that i've installed the Kuromoji Analysis plugin [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji). At a later time, when I added a new node to the cluster it joined the cluster successfully, but I started to see failures when creating new indexes (any index, in any language) and after the index creation failed the cluster got into a "red" state where the new indexs' shards remained Unassigned. org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexCreationException: [...] failed to create index at org.elasticsearch.indices.InternalIndicesService.createIndex( InternalIndicesService.java:300) at org.elasticsearch.indices.cluster.IndicesClusterStateService. applyNewIndices(IndicesClusterStateService.java:306) at org.elasticsearch.indices.cluster.IndicesClusterStateService. clusterChanged(IndicesClusterStateService.java:178) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.InternalClusterService$UpdateTask.run( InternalClusterService.java:424) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.

My question is: why did a missing plugin in one node fail the creation of any new index? Is that the expected behaviour?

I think it's expected as long as your index could potentialy being allocated on the node which is missing the plugin.

Thanks David for your comment. I was expecting that in case where a shard fails to be allocated on a specific node, it would try on a different node... Just an idea, maybe upon an index creation, we know the needed analyzers by the mapping. We could check which nodes support the index and allocate it's shards only on supporting nodes and raise a warning instead of failing altogether.

Hi David, I see ES as a basic component in a production system. It should be very gentle with "stop working" scenario. I would expect the cluster to "heal" its self and install the plugin in the missing nodes. It is much better then stopping the production.
