Cluster stuck in relocating shards after it turned green. Here are two  
types of tasks that are being executed.

{

```
"insert_order" : 14566,

"proirity" : "HIGH",

"source" : "shard-started ([du_shnindex_18530_2014_5][0],

```

node[t4063UbEQ7ePgIA841x3qA], [P], s[INITIALIZING]), reason [after recovery  
from gateway]",

```
"time_in_queue_millis" : 28314,

"time_in_queue" : "28.3s"

```

}, {

```
"insert_order" : 14567,

"proirity" : "HIGH",

"source" : "shard-started ([shnindex_19548_2014_4][1],

```

node[qPihy8qxR7uQomrqVrfNCw], relocating [q9lq7Q1cTgqAf4X5wq2XgQ], [P],  
s[INITIALIZING]), reason [master  
[esearch01][CEI8DeUvT4yQaOjViaRL8A][inet[/10.0.11.121:9300]]{master=true,  
zone=zone\_spop-sjc} marked shard as initializing, but shard already  
started, mark shard as started]",

```
"time_in_queue_millis" : 27810,

"time_in_queue" : "27.8s"

```

},

Any idea why this would happen? I am using 0.90.5 version.

Thanks

Ashish
