Hi , we had some network glitch .then we had rebounced all the four nodes .after rebouncing we are getting the cluster status red and seeing some shards are unassiged. Could you guys please help what we need to do with those unassigned shards.to get the data back i had tried cluster rerouting { "commands":[{"allocate": {"index":"indexname", "shard":2,"node":"Dionysus", "allow\_primary" : true}}] } but gettign this excepition { "error": "RemoteTransportException[[Autolycus][inet[/64.102.209.58:9300]][cluster/reroute]]; nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[[allocate] allocation of [cqindex][2] on node [Dionysus][T08BTnRcQ162tynpYjCpzQ][inet[]] is not allowed, reason: [YES()][NO()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()]]; ", "status": 400 } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, do you used some forced allocation awareness for some indices or the cluster, which might lead to this? --Alex On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 10:12 PM, [kondapallinaresh@gmail.com](mailto:kondapallinaresh@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi , > > we had some network glitch .then we had rebounced all the four nodes > .after rebouncing we are getting the cluster status red and seeing some > shards are unassiged. > > Could you guys please help what we need to do with those unassigned > shards.to get the data back > > i had tried cluster rerouting > { > "commands":[{"allocate": {"index":"indexname", > "shard":2,"node":"Dionysus", "allow\_primary" : true}}] > } > > but gettign this excepition > > { > "error": "RemoteTransportException[[Autolycus][inet[/64.102.209.58:9300]][cluster/reroute]]; > nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[[allocate] allocation of > [cqindex][2] on node [Dionysus][T08BTnRcQ162tynpYjCpzQ][inet] is not > allowed, reason: [YES()][NO()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()]]; > ", > "status": 400 > } > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/5784cef8-62ae-4876-95d6-cda50882c1c5%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/5784cef8-62ae-4876-95d6-cda50882c1c5%40googlegroups.com) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
