We have a 4 shard - 2 replica solr cloud setup, each with about 26GB of index. A total of 24,000,000. We issued a rather large delete yesterday morning to reduce that size by about half, this resulted in the loss of all shards while the delete was taking place, but when it had apparently finished as soon as we started writing again we continued to lose shards.
We have also issued much smaller deletes and lost shards but before they have always come back ok. This time we couldn't keep them online. We ended up rebuilding out cloud setup and switching over to it. Is there a better process for deleting documents? Is this expected behaviour? Thanks very much. -- Annette Newton Database Administrator ServiceTick Ltd T:+44(0)1603 618326 Seebohm House, 2-4 Queen Street, Norwich, England NR2 4SQ www.servicetick.com *www.sessioncam.com* -- *This message is confidential and is intended to be read solely by the addressee.
