when i fetch this index by GET /hft\_filebeat ,it prints -

{  
"error" : {  
"root\_cause" : [  
{  
"type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "no such index [hft\_filebeat]",  
"resource.type" : "index\_or\_alias",  
"resource.id" : "hft\_filebeat",  
"index\_uuid" : "_na_",  
"index" : "hft\_filebeat"  
}  
],  
"type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "no such index [hft\_filebeat]",  
"resource.type" : "index\_or\_alias",  
"resource.id" : "hft\_filebeat",  
"index\_uuid" : "_na_",  
"index" : "hft\_filebeat"  
},  
"status" : 404  
}

while all other 240 indexes are in green state.only this causing error..

also if i read logstasg service logs -- i get this -

retrying failed action with response code: 503 ({"type"=\>"unavailable\_shards\_exception", "reason"=\>"[hft-filebeat][0] primary shard is not active

elasticsearch logs dont give much info but meanwhile i deleted red index and recreated it and elasticearch got green now..  
can u tell me about docs.delete ?  
do elasticsearch can ever delete files/folder of system as this single node is very crucial from data perspective as i often read elsaticseach file corrupt or deleted ?
