Hi All,

I am getting IndexShardGatewayRecoveryException after my ES instance got restarted. I am using ES 1.4.4  
Can someone help me to fix this?

Hi,

Did the disk get full or something happen? On your node look for:

```auto
/path/to/esdata/<cluster_name>/nodes/<node_number>/indices/failing_index/2/translog/translog-*

```

Stop Elasticsearch, then you can try moving the files from inside the translog directory to another location. Then start Elasticsearcha and see if that fixes it.
