Catalog Search reindex not completing

Question

I have imported ~17k products, and when reindexing the catalogsearch_fulltext index does not complete. I have tried resetting and reindexing with

php bin/magento indexer:reset catalogsearch_fulltext
php -d memnory_limit=-1 bin/magento indexer:reindex

The process starts, but appears to fail without any warning/error. If I run reindex again, it returns

Catalog Search index is locked by another reindex process. Skipping.

I cannot see any locks in the database.

Is there another way to force this to reindex?

Upgrading to 2.1.8 allowed me to re-index successfully

You need run command bin/magento indexer:reset catalogsearch_fulltext and then start reindex again.
