I had a disk problem on my development laptop and my ES index is only barely working. Before restoring a [old] snapshot and just moving forward, I'd like to learn if this can be recovered. My first sign of trouble were query errors like this: { "error": "NoShardAvailableActionException[[twitter\_profiles][0] null]", "status": 503 } The disk checks out OK now, but the logs below show what happens when the node starts up. What's best way to proceed? Thanks in advance! * * * The details are here [http://pastebin.com/BCXe87Ri](http://pastebin.com/BCXe87Ri), but the high points are: [2015-03-26 20:36:55,065][INFO][node] [Glob] version[ _1.4.2_], pid[10652], build[927caff/2014-12-16T14:11:12Z] [2015-03-26 20:37:03,101][WARN][indices.cluster] [Glob] [twitter\_profiles][0] _failed to start shard_ org.elasticsearch.index.gateway.IndexShardGatewayRecoveryException: [twitter\_profiles][0] failed to fetch index version after copying it over Caused by: org.apache.lucene.index.CorruptIndexException: [twitter\_profiles][0] _Preexisting corrupted index_ [corrupted\_dd6VM9dCQOeajI\_AV9COnA] caused by: CorruptIndexException[Invalid fieldsStream maxPointer (file truncated?): maxPointer=86078308, length=4294967295] org.apache.lucene.index.CorruptIndexException: Invalid fieldsStream maxPointer (file truncated?): maxPointer=86078308, length=4294967295 [2015-03-26 20:37:03,261][WARN][cluster.action.shard] [Glob] [twitter\_profiles][0] _sending failed shard_ for [twitter\_profiles][0], node[msa32a5JQHW5aojBitwEqQ], [P], s[INITIALIZING], indexUUID [1tNwpxI0Rl6M2yldd\_l5lw], reason [Failed to start shard, message [IndexShardGatewayRecoveryException[[twitter\_profiles][0] failed to fetch index version after copying it over];
