Unavailable Shard Exception

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I came across the following error while indexing when I have deleted
some index folders from ES cluster

UnavailableShardsException[[2012-03-07][0] [2] shardIt, [0] active :
Timeout waiting for [1m], request:
org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkShardRequest@7403e02a]

But I have not deleted "2012-03-07" folder.

Note : Indexing was working fine before deleting Index folders.

Cluster Configuration:

number_of_shards: 1
number_of_replicas: 1

How to get rid of this conflict.

Any help is much appreciated.....

Regards,

Hi,

It looks like the problem I just had my self. I was trying to create an
index an use it right away, but couldn't because of a timing issue. Try
this call after you have deleted your index:

  •    node.client().admin().cluster().health(new

ClusterHealthRequest(INDEXNAME).waitForActiveShards(1)).actionGet();
*
I hope this helps.

Regards...

Thank u Christian,

Actually we have deleted index folders unknowingly [We did a manual
delete]. Is it possible to rectify this exception?
