Hi All,

We have been using an elastic search cluster with 3 nodes , running on aws 
machines , we have been using EBS for work and data directory of 
elasticsearch . I was experimenting with backup using EBS snapshots , here 
is what I did

1.) created a snapshot of one ebs volume (say, alpha)
2.) deleted the index 
3.) shutdown the cluster
4.) unmounted the ebs volume on alpha (say /mnt/data )
5.) created a new volume from snapshot and mounted on alpha in the same 
location (/mnt/data)
6.) restarted elastic search on one node only 
                    cluster went to red state , all shards in unassigned 
state
7.) restarted another node with blank data (/mnt/data ) directory
                    cluster red state , all shards STILL in UNASSIGNED STATE
8.) manually allocated shards to node
                     recovered no documents , few kbs of data got restored 
:(

can anyone please help me debug this , what am I doing wrong , is there a 
better way to do this ??
