Hi everyone,
I tried updating a collection schema in Typesense, but the update did not complete—likely due to a crash or system shutdown during the update process. Now, every time I restart the server, it automatically tries to resume the same update, which causes it to crash again. This puts the server into a continuous crash-restart loop.
đź§ What I Did:
• Performed a collection update (schema change).
• The update didn’t complete; the server crashed.
• On restart, Typesense retries the same update and crashes again.
âť“ My Questions:
1. Why does Typesense keep retrying the update on every restart?
2. Is there a way to prevent Typesense from retrying the failed update, so I can start the server normally?
3. How can I safely recover or remove the problematic collection to break this loop?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks 🙏
