I don't know if this is on my end, but it looks like there's something broken in the Void.

A player, 2 October 2021 16:23

hmm

A player, 2 October 2021 16:27

looks like the elasticsearch indexes broke... i have to rebuild them

A player, 2 October 2021 16:28

Rebuild?

A player, 2 October 2021 16:28

Can you copy/paste it from an old version. "Rebuild" sounds bad.

A player, 2 October 2021 16:29

all the data is there in the raw form. have to force it to remake the indexes.

A player, 2 October 2021 16:29

shouldn't take too long

A player, 2 October 2021 16:55

rebuilding now

A player, 2 October 2021 16:58

done

Weird that the indices blew up. What version/flavour of Elasticsearch?

A player, 2 October 2021 17:34

aws managed service.

A player, 2 October 2021 17:34

technically.. the entire elasticsearch dropped all data

A player, 2 October 2021 17:34

so it's recreate indices and repop from dynamodb (my backing store)

A player, 2 October 2021 17:39

but yeah, no update notification or anything, so not sure what happened.

A player, 2 October 2021 18:23

I'm fairly sure it's because I'm running a one node cluster. If the host it's on dies, it can't recover.

saaam (not official), 2 October 2021 18:30

Weird. Might be how AWS does it. I've run lots of ELKs single-node.

A player, 2 October 2021 18:54

Yeah I think they pretty much assume you run at Three nodes.

A player, 2 October 2021 18:54

I might move it to a regular ec2 instance instead of their managed service but it is nice not to have to do patching

saaam (not official), 2 October 2021 19:20

Yeah, the patching is a pain. As is the clustering. I've run small (read: ~ten nodes) clusters, and it gets painful quickly.

A player, 2 October 2021 19:21

Yeah I have some I run for my day job and don't want my hobby to become actual work

saaam (not official), 2 October 2021 19:26

Hah. I so hear you on that one.

saaam (not official), 2 October 2021 19:38

_goes to update the home Palo Altos._

As I recall this is on purpose as if it's Ninja, it's not unaligned (although it would be unaligned playing in newer formats where Ninja isn't a clan). @Brook Cunningham I'm not sure where templating on that was at in the current snapshot of time.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 6 October 2021 09:34

Well, at some point that I'm forgetting off the top of my head, "Unaligned" stopped being printed on the cards and simply became a defined game term "has no Clan Alignment". Oracle rewordings are for most-current templating, but from a Rules standpoint that every card/Clan is legal (because every card is reworded), so by that definition, Hoseki is not Unaligned because she's Ninja. It was also my intent, based on the latest definition of "Unaligned", to remove the printed "Unaligned" keyword retroactively entirely, because of the dumb existent paradox of "[Printed] Unaligned * Toturi's Army/Ninja" cards (and some of the TA ones are inconsistent in this regard to boot). Research showed a very few cards actually cared about looking for printed Unaligned, so the loss of classic interactions (and I even have rewords to preserve what interactions I could with the specific cards that cared, like Takuan Technique) was small compared to the benefit of consistency in the term, if that makes sense?

gotcha

A player, 8 October 2021 00:22

Wheee... closed like 1/3 of the open issues... amazing how a working editor helps you like... edit stuff 🙂
