Hi, I am currently having an issue that causes data loss with failed shards. At first sight it seems related to invalid mappings/parsing. Is that possible that a shard will fail to start due to that kind of issues? There is the Gist: > [2014-04-11 18:04:22,166][WARN][cluster.action.shard] [elastic09.localdomain] [logstash-2014.04.11][3] sending failed shard for [logstash-2014.04.11][3], node[GrR8qRaeQLOKf3jhxvJJzw], [R], s[INITIALIZING], indexUUID [xMDsVqv7TwmQAxMq3buWPw], reason [Failed to start shard, message [RecoveryFailedException[[logstash-2014.04.11][3]: Recovery failed from [elastic08.localdomain][-hBCZQqVQ92wn0qTFZXCBQ][inet[/10.0.241.154:9300]]{rack\_id=us-east-1b, aws\_availability\_zone=us-east-1b, max\_local\_storage\_nodes=1, master=false} into [elastic09.localdomain][GrR8qRaeQLOKf3jhxvJJzw][inet[/10.0.241.183:9300]]{rack\_id=us-east-1c, aws\_availability\_zone=us-east-1c, max\_local\_storage\_nodes=1, master=false}]; nested: RemoteTransportException[[elastic08.localdomain][inet[/10.0.241.154:9300]][index/shard/recovery/startRecovery]]; nested: RecoveryEngineException[[logstash-2014.04.11][3] Phase[2] Execution failed]; nested: RemoteTransportException[[elastic09.localdomain][inet[/10.0.241.183:9300]][index/shard/recovery/translogOps]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse [result]]; nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[unknown property [total\_rows]]; ]] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, has there a stacktrace been logged below this message?
