- In a big JIRA’s I do not recommend reindex in background, probably the Reindexing Service cause timeouts and integrity problems with the issues (currently created by users while the process background is still running) and then, probably will be corrupted (only the status or the transaction caused by the timeout). This problem can be fixed by a Integrity checkers in the Administration Panel
- If you want cancel the process and seems ZOMBIE, the only solution is:
- Restart jira server ( for example “service apache-tomcat restart“)
