failed to rollback writer on close

Elasticsearch version:
2.1.2
JVM version:
jdk1.8.0_60
OS version:
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

running a cluster for a long time, rolling update from 2.1.0 to 2.1.2 and one node keeps throw below exception:

one more thing to add up:
I find below logs in dmesg:

is it cause by file system or disk broken?
dose ES have ability to detected this and make the cluster recovery from this?

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /data6/elasticsearch/jiesi-59/jiesi-59/nodes/0/indices/op_logs_2016-05-26/7/index: Input/output error

This is almost always indicative of a filesystem error (usually hardware), not an application error.

[makeyang]

ok. got it.
so I guess the last question is: can ES detected this and make the cluster health under this condition happen?

[jasontedor]

XFS (sdh1): xfs_log_force: error 5 returned.

You definitely have a hardware issue. The engine should fail itself and that should trigger a recovery but the best course of action here is to completely take that node out of the cluster.

Since this is a hardware issue and not an Elasticsearch issue, I'll close this issue but let me know if you think otherwise.

[makeyang]

@jasontedor pay attention to the very first log I post, actually it is one of many disks in that node have issue, so the engine should not fail completely but exclude allocation shard on that one, right?

[jasontedor]

Engines are per shard, and there is not an allocation decider for excluding a disk that experienced an exception. If you want to exclude that disk you have to remove it from path.data. But I wouldn't trust that node even removing that failing disk until you run checks (SMART status etc.) on all the disks on that node and even a memory test.

Relates #18279

[makeyang]

I get what u are talling about engine.
The engine should fail itself and that should trigger a recovery but the best course of action here is to completely take that node out of the cluster.
is this the current action or is it the future action?
I bet it is the future action, right? otherwise, the es server shouldn't keep throw exception.

[jasontedor]

I mean that you should take the node out of the cluster.

[makeyang]

sure. it has been done.
my question is: can ES handle this situation by itself or it must be recoveried manually?

[jasontedor]

Removing a node from a cluster is a course of action that should only be done by an operator that is aware of end-user SLAs, maintenance windows, etc.

[makeyang]

@jasontedor I am sorry I don't make myself clear. what I concerned is below:
The engine should fail itself and that should trigger a recovery but the best course of action here is to completely take that node out of the cluster.
so ES can do this or not currently?

it won't take the node our of the cluster currently.

Hey guys, can you pls point me to some info or links on elasticsearch rollback to undo the last updates....maybe this can be done via the _version ?? Thank you.

This is not possible. If you have additional questions, please ask them on the forum.

[wongder]

Thank you Jason, i actually did enter this question in the forum but will make sure to use your forum link in your reply next time, thanks again!
