How to destroy all ElasticSearch indexes on Homebrew
Raw
destroy-all-elasticsearch-indexes.md

Sometimes it gets into inconsistent state. For testing purposes, we don't want to debug it, we just want to start again.

  1. kill elasticsearch if it's running
  2. brew info elasticsearch
  3. Look for a line like `Data: /usr/local/var/elasticsearch/elasticsearch_foo/
  4. rm -fr /usr/local/var/elasticsearch/elasticsearch_foo
  5. restart elasticsearch and enjoy your tabula rasa
