Hi,
In short: backup on a recovering index should fail. We are using the backup command "http:// ... /replication?command=backup&location=/tmp" against one server of the cluster. Most of the time there is no issue with this command. But in some particular case, the server can be in recovery mode. In this case, the command is doing a backup on an index that is not complete and return a http code 200. We end up with a partial index backup ! As a workaround we will do this backup against the leader of the cloud: the leader is never in recovery mode. In our opinion, the backup command on a recovering index should return a http code 503 Service Unavailable (and not http code 200 OK). Shall we open a issue or it's an expected behaviour ?
