ElasticsearchException index read-only if updating/storing BusinessData

Question

I can not update and store my Business data and get the following exception if I do it e.g. ivy.repo.save(in.myDossier):

ElasticsearchException: Elasticsearch update index of document failed because of:
{
   "root_cause":[
      {
         "type":"cluster_block_exception",
         "reason":"index [ivy.businessdata-abc] blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"
      }
   ],
   "type":"cluster_block_exception",
   "reason":"index [ivy.businessdata-abc] blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"
}

It seems that it is now forbidden to write to the Elasiticsearch index because it is read-only. Why is my index read-only? I did not do anything. It suddenly stopped working.

This can happen if you are nearly out of disk space. If you have used 95% or more of your disk, Elasticsearch enforces a read-only index. This means no update and adding to the index is allowed only deletion will work.

You just have to clean up your disk to have more than 5% free disk space (anyway a good idea:) and restart Axon.ivy. Then it should work again.

See detailed information in the Elasticsearch reference about the configuration properties and what happens when.
