You are correct. But how this is different from any other DB? I guess the question is more like: if I'm running ES under normal conditions, could index get corrupted? If this is hardware issue, and you have replication switched on, then you wouldn't get affected much. Your system will continue functioning but state would become yellow. You'd need to replase the node and this is it. Some people claimed, that they expirienced sudden index corruption with data loss. I myself nether saw anything like this. Even though I had done few times stupid things, and had near hart stroke feelings but data wasn't lost at the end, and again I have nothing to blame but myself.
Regarding stability I could say that ES has not gave us any problems. I was performing such things with success on production envirement with zero downtime: - adding nodes and replication - transitioning data to another data center - adding more clients Etc... I'd really like to hear from people who expirienced data loss. If someone would provide details this would help us to understand that was wrong and what we should avoid doing. But becides claims that there are such cases, I didn't hear anything else. Eugene -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
