Hello Experts, I'm using ES 7.1.0. One index is not rolling over after reached to 40GB. Old indices rolled over successfully. Here is the below error: ```auto { "indices" : { "classicapps-2021.03.25-000068" : { "index" : "classicapps-2021.03.25-000068", "managed" : true, "policy" : "cp_policy", "lifecycle_date_millis" : 1616696675011, "phase" : "hot", "phase_time_millis" : 1616696675369, "action" : "rollover", "action_time_millis" : 1616697275500, "step" : "ERROR", "step_time_millis" : 1616706874629, "failed_step" : "check-rollover-ready", "step_info" : { "type" : "null_pointer_exception", "reason" : null, "stack_trace" : """ java.lang.NullPointerException at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.rollover.TransportRolloverAction.evaluateConditions(TransportRolloverAction.java:252) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.rollover.TransportRolloverAction$1.onResponse(TransportRolloverAction.java:127) at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.rollover.TransportRolloverAction$1.onResponse(TransportRolloverAction.java:124) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.TransportAction$1.onResponse(TransportAction.java:68) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.TransportAction$1.onResponse(TransportAction.java:64) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$AsyncAction.onCompletion(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:383) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$AsyncAction.onNodeResponse(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:352) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$AsyncAction$1.handleResponse(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:324) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.broadcast.node.TransportBroadcastByNodeAction$AsyncAction$1.handleResponse(TransportBroadcastByNodeAction.java:314) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService$ContextRestoreResponseHandler.handleResponse(TransportService.java:1114) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport$1.doRun(TcpTransport.java:975) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.AbstractRunnable.run(AbstractRunnable.java:37) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.EsExecutors$DirectExecutorService.execute(EsExecutors.java:192) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport.handleResponse(TcpTransport.java:967) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport.messageReceived(TcpTransport.java:942) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport.inboundMessage(TcpTransport.java:753) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.Netty4MessageChannelHandler.channelRead(Netty4MessageChannelHandler.java:53) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:362) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:348) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:340) at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.fireChannelRead(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:323) at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:297) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:362) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:348) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:340) at io.netty.handler.logging.LoggingHandler.channelRead(LoggingHandler.java:241) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:362) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:348) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:340) at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline$HeadContext.channelRead(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:1434) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:362) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:348) at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.fireChannelRead(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:965) at io.netty.channel.nio.AbstractNioByteChannel$NioByteUnsafe.read(AbstractNioByteChannel.java:163) at io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoop.processSelectedKey(NioEventLoop.java:656) at io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoop.processSelectedKeysPlain(NioEventLoop.java:556) at io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoop.processSelectedKeys(NioEventLoop.java:510) at io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoop.run(NioEventLoop.java:470) at io.netty.util.concurrent.SingleThreadEventExecutor$5.run(SingleThreadEventExecutor.java:909) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:835) """ }, "phase_execution" : { "policy" : "cp_policy", "phase_definition" : { "min_age" : "0ms", "actions" : { "rollover" : { "max_size" : "40gb" } } }, "version" : 22, "modified_date_in_millis" : 1616565308562 } } } } ``` Is it a bug? ---
