Hi, I was having a 3 nodes cluster made from docker and it suddenly stopped working:

 ![crate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/crate/original/1X/0ed1b746df283435bdd38d77e9900d73e956d6b0.png)

If I go and check the shards, they appear alongside the 3 nodes but if I go and check the cluster page, they are not there. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Are any of the docker containers still running?  
Do you have any logs?

This is what the log was looking while trying to reinitialize the cluster:

I decided to remove a couple of tables and suddenly the cluster is up again (odd). The containers have not been updated nor stopped.

Ok … the logs just show a pretty normal startup.

How did you remove them, with the cluster down? 🤔

That was a weird situation. The shards were visible in the UI, where I noticed the nodes to be up. Once in the console view, I executed the queries and after the deletion the cluster was up again.

Do you remember what you did before? Was there anything special about the tables you deleted?  
My suspicion would be, that actually none of the nodes were really down, but there might be a bug with the admin UI.

I checked the UI one day before the problem and everything was working as expected. The next day that I tried to insert new data the cluster was down. I restarted it without luck and by pure chance I thought about deleting a couple of tables. Somehow this triggered something. Nothing special with the tables, they hold around 20 columns and 1k-20k rows.

How did you delete the tables while the cluster wasn’t running 🤔 ?

The UI was still visible, I entered it in the console page.

I see. So this means the cluster was still running, but there maybe was a problem with the AdminUI.

Can you maybe explain what you did, and maybe share the schemas of the tables. You could also DM me, if you don’t want to share them publicly.

Did you use any UDFs in the Schemas?

Hey @proddata, sorry for not replying back sooner. I really don’t know what happened, maybe was a server problem while rebooted or space constraint with the docker container, since I have been dealing with some of those problems recently. I didn’t use any UDF over the data, and the schemas are simply strings, integers and array of strings.
