I noticed [this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/checksum-failed-hardware-problem/341061/2) where David Turner mentions the troubleshooting guide for corruption. The documentation started in 8.3, but I'm curious if this is the same for version 7.17.4?

Backstory, I have a deployment on VMWare Vsphere with VSAN backing and I have other Elasticsearch deployments on it, but only one VM is having the `org.apache.lucene.index.CorruptIndexException` error coming up frequently and I'm not sure why. This VM is has ES hosted in K8s, and I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Yep, same in that version, this was added [about a decade ago](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/5924). Indeed I'm not sure there's ever been an explanation for this sort of exception that isn't environmental.
