I am running elasticsearch-5.0.0-beta1 in my laptop, I want to add one more new node to my elasticsearch cluster. In total I want to have 2 nodes. How do I do this?

My elasticsearch.yml  
[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): my-application  
node.attr.rack: r1  
[node.name](http://node.name): node-1  
path.data: /path/to/data

# second node

[node.name](http://node.name): newnode  
node.master: false  
node.data: true  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.2"]

When starting elasticsearch the newnode is not added to cluster. what to do? I use windows 8 64bit machine.

You need to use a non-loopback address instead of the 127 one.

Please use one of the GA releases, current is 5.4.3 🙂

Yes you can, just start another instance of Elasticsearch.
