I just upgraded from .90 to 1.0 and my cluster state is showing yellow:

Not sure why one node doesn't show up as "m"

Hi Mo,

The m indicates that all nodes _may_ become master. The \* means that node  
is the current master. There is nothing wrong with that.

Your cluster is yellow because not all shards are started. If things don't  
sort out themselves within a couple of minutes (usually much quicker),  
something is going on.

Cheers,  
Boaz
