In situations when shards cannot be allocated and a table/partition shows a yellow/red state, it is difficult for users to troubleshoot the reason with information shown in the Admin UI.
To give a simple example, create this table:
CREATE TABLE t (a INTEGER) WITH ("routing.allocation.require.name" = 'abc');
. The allocation requirement cannot be fulfilled, so the table health shows as red in the Admin UI. However, the user cannot find out through the Admin UI what the actual issue is:Only when querying
sys.allocations
manually, and looking at thedecisions
/explanation
columns, the root cause becomes visible.Suggested improvement: Make information from
sys.allocations
more visible in the Admin UI, so users can troubleshoot allocation issues on their own, without having to know about additionalsys
tables.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
