elasticsearchHow can I resolve unassigned shards in Elasticsearch?
Unassigned shards in Elasticsearch can be resolved by performing a cluster re-routing operation. This will cause the cluster to re-allocate the shards to the available nodes. To do this, use the Cluster Reroute API
with the allocate_stale_primary
option. This will cause the cluster to try to re-allocate any unassigned shards to their primary node:
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_cluster/reroute?retry_failed&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"commands" : [
{
"allocate_stale_primary" : {
"index" : "my_index",
"shard" : 0,
"node" : "node_name",
"accept_data_loss" : true
}
}
]
}
'
The output of this command will be something like this:
{
"state" : "yellow",
"allocated_shards" : 3,
"unassigned_shards" : 0
}
This indicates that the cluster re-routing operation was successful and all shards have been assigned to nodes.
