We are using ES version 1.4.1. We have hourly index with 50 shards per index and replication is 1 . We restarted our cluster after the some maintenance we had from system side. No we don't have any disk failures. After the restart, i see all primary shards are assigned but all replicas are unassigned? After cluster shutdown, these are the steps we followed to do the restart 1. Start all master nodes 2. "cluster.routing.allocation.enable" : "none" 3. Start all data nodes 4. After all nodes joined the cluster we did cluster.routing.allocation.enable" : "all" for cluster setting this it shows. { - persistent: { }, - transient: { - cluster: { - routing: { - allocation: { - enable: "all" } } } } } Pending tasks queue is empty. Cluster status is yellow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

One correction. Pending tasks queue is not empty and it shows one task. 18596 56.1m URGENT reroute\_after\_cluster\_update\_settings. I think this is \*cluster.routing.allocation.\*_enable" : "all"_ we executed after all nodes joined the cluster. Setting got updated on all the nodes. But why it is still in the queue from last 56 m?
