Just wanted to add that in the new index architecture recently introduced in Phoenix 4.14.3 and the forthcoming 4.15, the index stays in ACTIVE state even if there's a write failure, and the index will be transparently repaired the next time someone reads from the affected keyrange. From the client perspective indexes will always be in sync. Indexes created using the older index framework will still work, but will need to be upgraded to the new framework with the IndexUpgradeTool in order to benefit from the new behavior.
We'll be updating the docs on the website soon to reflect that; in the meantime you can look at PHOENIX-5156 and PHOENIX-5211 if you'd like more details.
