AWS elastic-search. FORBIDDEN/8/index write (api). Unable to write to index

Question

I am trying dump a list of docs to an AWS elastic-search instance. It was running fine. Then, all of sudden it started throwing this error:

{ _index: \'

        

Answer 1

This error indicates that AWS ElasticSearch has placed a block on your domain based upon disk space. At 85%, ES will not allow you create any new indexes. At 90%, no new documents can be written.
