For future reference here is how we backed out of a search enabled 1.0.0 cluster and moved to 1.0.3
Step 1 Disable search on each of the 1.0.0 and restart them Note that disabling search and still having the search pre-commit hook active in a bucket will result in write failures. Step 2: Execute riak-admin leave on a 1.0.0 node Witness wonderous partition transfers Step 3: Execute riak-admin join on a fresh 1.0.3 node. Do make sure your app.config and vm.args files are the way they should be Witness wonderous partition transfers Step 4: Repeat until you run out of 1.0.0 nodes Step 5: If you left the search pre-commit hooks intact in step one I highly recommend that you do not forget to re-enable search on your shiny new 1.0.3 nodes. I did. I also noticed that you can not remove search pre-commit hooks if you have disabled search, something I found a bit strange.
