Indexing Fails - Handshake failed.

[strueman]

indexing fails with handshake failed message,
Delete index, restart Cursor and it completes fine, with no errors, until it doesn't and rinse and repeat.

Possible Solution:
I am thinking a workaround may be to automate a delete index and clear any cache / temp data the indexing system uses, restart the indexing system and trigger a rebuild on repeated handshake error? Not the ideal solution but I can see this has been an ongoing niggling problem throughout many versions in the old issues and forum posts.
