A few days after the upgrade to 1.3.1 we experienced our first corrupted 
shard in a 2 node cluster:

[2014-08-06 15:54:28,815][WARN ][indices.cluster          ] 
[FiveAces.Coffee.Web_IN_0] [streamentry5][4] failed to start shard

How do we recover from this?

We've tried explicitly assigning via the reroute API:

{ "commands" : [ { "allocate" : { "index" : "streamentry5", "shard" : 4 , 
"node" : "FiveAces.Coffee.Web_IN_0", "allow_primary" : 1 }}]}

This puts the shard in INITIALIZING but quickly reverts back to UNALLOCATED 
with a similar error in the logs.

I'm interested in theories on how this could have happened assuming no 
significant changes on our end during this period and never having 
experienced this on ES before but more importantly how to recover from it.

Thank you
