Hi all,

We are using ES 1.3.7 cluster with 2 GB heap. FYI, now we are working hard on ES upgradation.

Faced some issues in response from elasticsearch , so bounced nodes.  
After that response looks fine now.

But after that , we facing issues in partial snapshot failures

**curl IP:PORT/\_snapshot/reponame**  
response is fine for above

**curl IP:PORT/\_snapshot/reponame/\_all**

getting below error

> {  
> "error": "RemoteTransportException[[node\_name][inet[/IPPORT]][cluster/snapshot/get]]; nested: NullPointerException; ",  
> "status": 500  
> }

At the same time, **able to get above snapshots info's while connecting with only one particular node in cluster**

below error got while taking snapshot

```
"failures" : [ {
  "node_id" : "klwjhowj-cuQecw",
  "index" : "index_name",
  "reason" : "RepositoryMissingException[[name_repo] missing]",
  "shard_id" : 0,
  "status" : "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR"
} ],

```

please help us to debug on this !!!

Elasticearch v1.3.7 has numerous known snapshot/restore issues and is not maintained for more [than a year now](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol). I would suggest upgrading the version to v1.7.6 and start working on the a of migrating to a more recent version as soon as possible.
