after changing http.host and network.host and restarting elastic search, cluster completely reset all data. Seems that data still exists on disk in /data/logger/nodes/0 and /data/logger/nodes/1 was created after elastic search restarted.

How can I go back to the nodes/0 data, or import it to bring back to whole state?

I've searched, and not finding answers, help would be greatly appreciated. Considering copying indices directory over to nodes/1, but concerned about state being tracked more specifically, and breaking more.

Thanks

Greg

Are you running a version \< 5.x ?

Probably you have 2 nodes running. Stop them and restart one node.

That did it, thank you.

Just overreacting 🙂

Thanks for the help.

This won't happen in 5.2....

Now you know why upgrading is important! 😉
