GSI instantiation failed

apologies for the delayed response. I think you need to enable the index service at the initial setup and I don’t believe you have that given the log files present in this directory.

see the 3 checkboxes displayed here that will get you to have a cluster with indexing service.

there is a quickstart guide that will get you set up with RC0 that we are shipping as we speak.
