I have an elasticsearch host (single) that has a few hundred unassigned shards.
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true' { "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "status" : "red", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 1, "number_of_data_nodes" : 1, "active_primary_shards" : 291, "active_shards" : 291, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 0, "unassigned_shards" : 429, "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0 } I'd love to fix this, I've tried to re-route them with this; curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_cluster/reroute' -d '{"commands": [ {"allocate": { "index": "logstash-2015.02.17", "shard": 4, "node": "FSLSO-LOGSERVER", "allow_primary": true } }] }' I get the error, "Is not allowed, reason: [NO(shard cannot be allocated on same node [cGB66XJqTbeo9zstZTE2Eg] it already exists on". Is there a way around this? Is there a way to just delete the unassigned shards? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
