I tried my hand at a roll update for my cluster. I have 3 nodes (elastic01,elastic02 and elastic03). Elastic03 is currently the master so I started with 02 first. That upgrade went fine and cluster rebuilt no problem. I then went to 01. Its been a half hour side I restarted. Any thoughts ---

Rather than deleting your question, it would be better if you could share your solution, as it may help others in the future with a similar problem 🙂 ---

The reason I withdrew the question is because it got worse. I thought I had updated one node and everything was going great. I was using the rolling upgrade/update instructions. However I ended up loosing the node that upgraded after I thought everything had stabilized. Through a series of unfortunate decisions on my part I'm now left with a 3 node cluster that will not accept new data and any time I create a new index. It shows up as red and you cannot write any documents to that index. So I'm in a bit of a mess at the moment. I've never gotten the updates to work properly for me. I know this is something I either don't understand about the cluster or I'm missing a step. If I do a \_cluster/health I get Active\_Primary\_nodes: 0 and Active\_shards: 0 but I have 3 data nodes. ---

Providing logs will be useful. What did you upgrade from, and to? ---

Its fixed but here is what happened. I did a curl -XGET 10.200.100.101:9200/\_cluster/allocation/explain?pretty After reading through that I found out that all my nodes had "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": none. So yeah that was the problem. I set "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "all" and everything came back. So in summary after I went fro 7.0 to 7.1.1 on 02 and it looked liked everything balanced back out and was working. Then 02 disappeared. In the panic of having a node go missing I set them to none and then proceeded to make a lot of bad decisions by deleting indexes. Should have stopped in my tracks and troubleshot the node and not get all freaked out. Completely my fault. ---
