Hello, I have this shard failures error when I'm trying to search some terms but I don't know why because for some other terms search is working. I got this in the log file: SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query], total failure ; shardFailures {[9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig][website][2]: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[website][2] So I know that [9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig] is my cluster name, [website] is the name of my index but I don't know what is the [2]. And this number changes, sometimes it is a [4]. Because I don't know what it is, I don't know where to look for a fix. I made a \_status and I got this, maybe it'll be helpful: (Sorry it is pretty big) "shards" : { "0" : [ { "routing" : { "state" : "STARTED", "primary" : true, "node" : "9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig", "relocating\_node" : null, "shard" : 0, "index" : "website" }, "state" : "STARTED", "index" : { "size" : "192.2mb", "size\_in\_bytes" : 201611783 }, "translog" : { "id" : 1370618985492, "operations" : 2 }, "docs" : { "num\_docs" : 55003, "max\_doc" : 55046, "deleted\_docs" : 43 }, "merges" : { "current" : 0, "current\_docs" : 0, "current\_size" : "0b", "current\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0, "total" : 0, "total\_time" : "0s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "total\_docs" : 0, "total\_size" : "0b", "total\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0 }, "refresh" : { "total" : 18433, "total\_time" : "1.7m", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 106656 }, "flush" : { "total" : 141, "total\_time" : "12.7s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 12788 } } ], "1" : [ { "routing" : { "state" : "STARTED", "primary" : true, "node" : "9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig", "relocating\_node" : null, "shard" : 1, "index" : "website" }, "state" : "STARTED", "index" : { "size" : "210.8mb", "size\_in\_bytes" : 221089213 }, "translog" : { "id" : 1370618985965, "operations" : 0 }, "docs" : { "num\_docs" : 55064, "max\_doc" : 55101, "deleted\_docs" : 37 }, "merges" : { "current" : 0, "current\_docs" : 0, "current\_size" : "0b", "current\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0, "total" : 0, "total\_time" : "0s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "total\_docs" : 0, "total\_size" : "0b", "total\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0 }, "refresh" : { "total" : 29480, "total\_time" : "3m", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 181118 }, "flush" : { "total" : 141, "total\_time" : "18.9s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 18929 } } ], "2" : [ { "routing" : { "state" : "STARTED", "primary" : true, "node" : "9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig", "relocating\_node" : null, "shard" : 2, "index" : "website" }, "state" : "STARTED", "index" : { "size" : "175.9mb", "size\_in\_bytes" : 184467723 }, "translog" : { "id" : 1370618985663, "operations" : 0 }, "docs" : { "num\_docs" : 54940, "max\_doc" : 54983, "deleted\_docs" : 43 }, "merges" : { "current" : 0, "current\_docs" : 0, "current\_size" : "0b", "current\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0, "total" : 0, "total\_time" : "0s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "total\_docs" : 0, "total\_size" : "0b", "total\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0 }, "refresh" : { "total" : 18258, "total\_time" : "1.7m", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 105009 }, "flush" : { "total" : 141, "total\_time" : "10.4s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 10453 } } ], "3" : [ { "routing" : { "state" : "STARTED", "primary" : true, "node" : "9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig", "relocating\_node" : null, "shard" : 3, "index" : "website" }, "state" : "STARTED", "index" : { "size" : "178.2mb", "size\_in\_bytes" : 186951530 }, "translog" : { "id" : 1370618985706, "operations" : 2 }, "docs" : { "num\_docs" : 55039, "max\_doc" : 55072, "deleted\_docs" : 33 }, "merges" : { "current" : 0, "current\_docs" : 0, "current\_size" : "0b", "current\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0, "total" : 1, "total\_time" : "247ms", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 247, "total\_docs" : 3914, "total\_size" : "3.9mb", "total\_size\_in\_bytes" : 4185347 }, "refresh" : { "total" : 18369, "total\_time" : "1.7m", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 105709 }, "flush" : { "total" : 141, "total\_time" : "12.5s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 12570 } } ], "4" : [ { "routing" : { "state" : "STARTED", "primary" : true, "node" : "9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig", "relocating\_node" : null, "shard" : 4, "index" : "website" }, "state" : "STARTED", "index" : { "size" : "193.9mb", "size\_in\_bytes" : 203330352 }, "translog" : { "id" : 1370618985861, "operations" : 5 }, "docs" : { "num\_docs" : 55010, "max\_doc" : 55042, "deleted\_docs" : 32 }, "merges" : { "current" : 0, "current\_docs" : 0, "current\_size" : "0b", "current\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0, "total" : 0, "total\_time" : "0s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "total\_docs" : 0, "total\_size" : "0b", "total\_size\_in\_bytes" : 0 }, "refresh" : { "total" : 18409, "total\_time" : "1.7m", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 106237 }, "flush" : { "total" : 141, "total\_time" : "13.1s", "total\_time\_in\_millis" : 13145 } Does anyone knows where it could come from?

Hey, can you reproduce this with certain terms? Or does it happen randomly? Is there anything in the logfile maybe? Can you create a reproduce gist we could try ourselves? --Alex On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 6:04 PM, Damien [damien.soulard@gmail.com](mailto:damien.soulard@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello, > > I have this shard failures error when I'm trying to search some terms but > I don't know why because for some other terms search is working. > I got this in the log file: > SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query], total > failure; shardFailures {[9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig][website][2]: > QueryPhaseExecutionException[[website][2] > > So I know that [9JV9YILBSlek2mjI55A6ig] is my cluster name, [website] is > the name of my index but I don't know what is the [2].

So after a lot of investigation, I found that my customScript is the problem but I don't know why. It works for a lot of other terms! Here is my customScript just in case it can help: timeModifier = (param14 - doc['creationDate'].value) / param15; score = ((doc['nbEditorMembers'].value + doc['nbRegularMembers'].value) \* param1 + (doc['nbEditorPosts'].value + doc['nbRegularPosts'].value) \* param2 + doc['nbPostComments'].value - param3 + doc['nbPostsViews'].value \* param4 + doc['nbPostsOlogized'].value \* param5); if (timeModifier \>= 365){ score \* param13 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 279){ score \* param12 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 186){ score \* param11 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 93){ score \* param10 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 31){ score \* param9 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 7){ score \* param8 \* \_score; } else if (timeModifier \>= 1){ score \* param7 \* \_score; } else { score \* param6 \* \_score; } The only parameters that are not the same between every terms are the doc['xxx'].value. Can the error might come from one of these? -Damien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Ok, I finally found the bug. Apparently, elasticsearch script is very sensitive to spaces/indentations and for some reasons I don't know, my indentation breaks the search with some terms. I just changed the indentation of the script and now it works. -Damien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
