/**
 * Dangling indices are indices that exist on disk on one or more nodes but
 * which do not currently exist in the cluster state. They arise in a
 * number of situations, such as:
 *
 * 
    *
  • A user overflows the index graveyard by deleting more than 500 indices while a node is offline and then the node rejoins the * cluster
  • *
  • A node (unsafely) moves from one cluster to another, perhaps because the original cluster lost all its master nodes
  • *
  • A user (unsafely) meddles with the contents of the data path, maybe restoring an old index folder from a backup
  • *
  • A disk partially fails and the user has no replicas and no snapshots and wants to (unsafely) recover whatever they can
  • *
  • A cluster loses all master nodes and those are (unsafely) restored from backup, but the backup does not contain the index
  • *
* *

The classes in this package form an API for managing dangling indices, allowing them to be listed, imported or deleted. */ /* * Modifications Copyright OpenSearch Contributors. See * GitHub history for details. */ package org.opensearch.action.admin.indices.dangling;
