Remove Node

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

how can I safely remove a node?

I started with 3 ES instances then the shards are distributed to those
node.

Now I would like to run ES with only 1 node but while indexing I get
an error * indicating that the shards are missing of the node which I
shutdown via the API. Also when querying a lot of docs are missing and
the facet count is wrong. When starting up again all nodes all is
fine.

How can I handle removing nodes, so that all shards are available to
the remaining nodes?

Regards,
Peter.

That should work. Was your cluster health green before you shut down?

Could you gist a recreation?

Could you gist a recreation?

What do you mean should I gist? The logs?

Hi,

I think Clinton refers to Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

http://www.elasticsearch.org/help/If there is a simple way how the issues
can be recreated with curl command then that would be helpful.
