I am using cloud aws plugin, Snapshots are taken directly to S3.  
It's a 3 node cluster.

_ES config:_  
cloud:  
aws:  
access\_key: xxx  
secret\_key: yyy  
protocol: http  
region: us-west-1  
discovery.type: ec2  
discovery.ec2.groups: elasticsearch  
repositories:  
s3:  
bucket: "xxx"  
region: "us-west-1"

When I run this

> curl -XGET  
> 'localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_s3\_repository/2015.03.11.06.04.39/\_status?pretty'

Part of the output is  
"snapshots" : [ {  
"snapshot" : "2015.03.11.06.04.39",  
"repository" : "my\_s3\_repository",  
"state" : "ABORTED",  
"shards\_stats" : {  
"initializing" : 0,  
"started" : 0,  
"finalizing" : 0,  
"done" : 17,  
"failed" : 3,  
"total" : 20  
},

When I run

> curl localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_all?pretty

it shows IN\_PROGRESS  
{  
"snapshot" : "2015.03.11.06.04.39",  
"indices" : [ "playground\_video", "playground\_admin",  
"playground\_profile", "playground\_feed" ],  
"state" : "IN\_PROGRESS",  
"start\_time" : "2015-03-11T06:04:39.044Z",  
"start\_time\_in\_millis" : 1426053879044,  
"failures" : ,  
"shards" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"failed" : 0,  
"successful" : 0  
}  
}

curl -XDELETE

> 'localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_s3\_repository/2015.03.11.06.04.39'

this operation never completes. I left it running for a day..still no use..

What version are you on?

You can try deleting the snapshot and trying again.

My ES version is 1.4.2, ArchLinux  
But this snapshot was taken when ES was on 1.4.0, I have recently  
redeployed the ES cluster to 1.4.2 and found out that a snapshot that was  
taken 2 weeks back is stuck.

As I said in my first post , I tried deleting like this curl -XDELETE  
'localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_s3\_repository/2015.03.11.06.04.39'  
But this never completes, I am afraid I cant delete the files phisically  
which will mess every thing up, I have many snapshots(hourly) taken in that  
repository.

Is deleting some metadata file phisically or something solves it? I am ok  
even If I am going to loose this particular snapshot.

Thanks,  
Pradeep.

Any solutions to this problem??

Meanwhile, I have created a ticket @ elasticsearch repo
