Unassigned shardsafter nodes restart

Hello there!

While I was working with es, I've restarted my three nodes, but at my
surprise, nine of the fifteen possible shards were not assigned to any
node, and some of them are primary!!

I'v tried to restart mys nodes, close and open my index, the problem
persists

How is it possible? and what is the impact of such behaviour on the index

Thanks

Hey,

If you want to know more regarding why certain shards are not allocated
post full cluster restart, set gateway.local logging to TRACE, it will give
more info (the logging for it will be done on the elected master node).

I see that you have 2 replicas for the index. This means 3 copies, and a
shard will be "allocated" once it finds at least 2 pre restart copies among
the nodes. This is controlled by the setting index.recovery.initial_shards
(which defaults to quorum). Try and set it to 1, maybe you restarted and
it missed some data locations (the logging above will tell you). Btw, you
can set this setting per index, and on a "running" cluster for an index
that does not recover (possibly because copies are missing).

Hello there!

While I was working with es, I've restarted my three nodes, but at my
surprise, nine of the fifteen possible shards were not assigned to any
node, and some of them are primary!!

I'v tried to restart mys nodes, close and open my index, the problem
persists

How is it possible? and what is the impact of such behaviour on the index

Thanks

Thank Shay for the clarifications, I must admit that I still have leaks in
es configuration, it is time for me to read more about that.

Hey,

If you want to know more regarding why certain shards are not allocated
post full cluster restart, set gateway.local logging to TRACE, it will give
more info (the logging for it will be done on the elected master node).

I see that you have 2 replicas for the index. This means 3 copies, and a
shard will be "allocated" once it finds at least 2 pre restart copies among
the nodes. This is controlled by the setting index.recovery.initial_shards
(which defaults to quorum). Try and set it to 1, maybe you restarted and
it missed some data locations (the logging above will tell you). Btw, you
can set this setting per index, and on a "running" cluster for an index
that does not recover (possibly because copies are missing).

Hello there!

While I was working with es, I've restarted my three nodes, but at my
surprise, nine of the fifteen possible shards were not assigned to any
node, and some of them are primary!!

I'v tried to restart mys nodes, close and open my index, the problem
persists

How is it possible? and what is the impact of such behaviour on the index

Thanks
