Hi, My Cluster version is 6.4.2 ， I closed part of the index for storage reasons。 When I request this api, Response request is index\_closed\_exception 。 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/4/d48a24f749396d594d012d4119d63c2c0a95ee3c.png) ---

Hi @test987654123, This is correct behaviour. Also, can you be more clear about your query? Regards Nikhil Kapoor ---

> This is correct behaviour. I don't think this is a correct behavior. When you close an index, it should not interfer with other APIs IMO. > My Cluster version is 6.4.2 Could you try with the latest 6.5 version? ---

Sorry, I am preparing to migrate the cluster. Because of the hot and cold data separation strategy, some indexes cannot be retrieved directly. ---

Hi @dadoonet, Yes, you are right. This is not a correct behaviour. "index\_closed\_exception" should have been shown, if the index is closed and user have executed the below command: # curl -X GET "10.x.x.x:9200/\_cat/shards/index\_name" Where, index\_name is the name of the closed index Regards Nikhil Kapoor ---

Hi, The cluster has been upgraded to the latest version, and the problem is still not solved. ---
