Was this an accident or are you trying to clear the contents of the historical? I just tested this on a standalone deployment. • I removed the info_dir directory • I waited for a few minutes and nothing happened on the rest of the directories • The info_dir directory did not appear again. I restarted all services: • after a little bit, it rebuilt the info_dir directory and all of its content • since this is a single historical, it wasn't clear if this was just the coordinator asking it to rebuild or if the historical rebuilt based on the content of the segment-cache. • I looked at the logs: ◦ coordinator log - does not show any new segment assignment ◦ historical log - shows Loading and announcing segments I suspect you will see the same, the info_dir content will be recreated after you restart the historical.
