[BUG] [Remote Cluster State] Auto restore from remote cluster state after quorum loss should recover index shards into GREEN state #9921
Closed
Description
Describe the bug
- After quorum loss recovery if the previous state is completely lost the cluster doesn't have any indices
- But with remote store clusters, the index data exists in a remote repository
- With Remote Cluster state, the IndexMetadata which is lost with cluster state is also available in remote repository
- Today if cluster has remote cluster state and looses local disk state after quorum loss recovery, we auto restore the IndexMetadata from Remote Cluster State
- This adds the index back to the cluster.
- Today there is a bug where the index shards are in UNASSIGNED state when auto restored from Remote Cluster State
Expected behavior
After auto restore, index shards should be ASSIGNED and eventually started and index should be GREEN eventually
