3 nodes, replicas=2, entire cluster goes down after losing one node?

Mike_Peters · October 26, 2011, 7:56am

Hi,

Using ElasticSearch 0.17.9

We have 3 nodes, with these settings:

gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
gateway.recover_after_time: 5m
gateway.expected_nodes: 2

index:
number_of_shards: 3
number_of_replicas: 2

As soon as any one node goes down, all other nodes stop responding to
requests with this error:

[2011-10-26 02:38:14,677][DEBUG][action.admin.indices.status]
[Inferno] [spi][0], node[h4GIhuqDTS2KriM3_VM-Mw], [R], s[STARTED]:

Any idea what are we doing wrong?

Does it completely stop responding to any request? Can you gist the result
of cluster state (with pretty): curl host:9200/_cluster/state?pretty=1.

Yes - all nodes in the cluster refuse connection as soon as one node
goes down, although we have 3 nodes with replicas = 2

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Here's the cluster state:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8b9ad12d3ab78194e890

 curl -XGET "http://10.29.60.8:9200/_cluster/state?pretty=1"

  "cluster_name" : "SPI",
  "master_node" : "Ub0MuTriRe2r-PgD2PPMsg",

  },

If it helps, here's the cluster state right after we restart the node
that goes down (doesn't matter which one, it's always the same
symptom):

gist.github.com

It seems like the state looks good. Indices are there, shards are allocated
on the remaining nodes. When happens when you execute "count" on the spi
index for example, does it fail?
