Hi,
i have an elasticsearch cluster with 4 nodes.
I have a datastream with the name "log\_data", which have configured 2 shards and 1 replica.
I have a test script, which creates in an endless loop new documents to this datastream (about ~2000 documents in 30 seconds) with the following curl command:
`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https:///log_data/_doc -d '{ "message": "", "@timestamp": ""}'`
While my script is indexing documents, i restart one elasticsearch node after the other (never 2 nodes at the same time!) to test the failover.
Not often, but sometimes my indexing script get's sometimes the following error:
```auto
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"version_conflict_engine_exception","reason":"[IfKYF3kBIdh4-KSkheh_]: version conflict, document already exists (current version [1])","index_uuid":"CEXrhdvISd2uj0nkprC0gA","shard":"1","index":".ds-log_data-000001"}],"type":"version_conflict_engine_exception","reason":"[IfKYF3kBIdh4-KSkheh_]: version conflict, document already exists (current version [1])","index_uuid":"CEXrhdvISd2uj0nkprC0gA","shard":"1","index":".ds-log_data-000001"},"status":409}
```
At the same time, i get the error above, one elasticsearch node started the shutdown process (triggered with 'systemctl restart elasticsearch'). In the elasticsearch logs, i see the following messages:
```auto

```
But the failed document from the error message is indexed into my cluster. I don't specified any document-id.
Why i am getting this error message, when the document is indexed successful?
I am confused
Thanks for help!
