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. 🧠 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. ❓ 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 🙏
