Re-indexing correctly triggers old index deletion
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
There was no request to delete the old index when a new reindexing process was started, resulting in the new data being put into the already existing index. This was traced to a logic flaw which evaluated a condition as false under certain conditions. This 'If' condition has been fixed and simplified so the process responsible for recreating the ElasticSearch index is accessible for the scenario of reindexing an entire index without specifying include or exclude classes.

Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.
