You seem to have a few non-default settings, e.g. `gateway.recover_after_nodes` and `gateway.expected_nodes`, that may not be appropriate for a 3-node cluster. How did you arrive at these (and other non-default) values?

As you have `indices.ttl.interval` in there it looks like you have just reused the 1.7 config. I would recommend removing non-default options and start building it out from there with `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes` and `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` set to appropriate values.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for the helpful hint, after removing the "discovery.zen.fd.ping\_timeout", "discovery.zen.fd.ping\_retries" and "discovery.zen.ping\_timeout" the situation get much improved. I don't know what is going on wit ES, when these three are set . Anyway

I could reproduce the problem constantly on my local machine. After removing these 3 from the ES configuration on the cluster of our test einvironment (on customer site), the situation got improved much, but still some times after stopping the master, the problem occurs (localhost:9200/\_cluster/health just hang on and not responding), also after starting the crashed node, it doesn't join the other two nodes. I tried the same scenario event with removing all the non-default options as you mentioned. Still some times the problems occurs.

there are 8100 shards in the cluster disributed on three nodes each 8g memory assigned to ES.

Cheers,  
Vahid

That is in my opinion far too many shards for a cluster that size, which is probably contributing to the problems. Read [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster) for some guidance on shards and sharding.

Yes I know there are too many shards, however currently there is no easy way to avoid that. The problem is that all these were working fine with the old version (1.7) and now we get into a big problem with the new version. Either we should revert everything back to use 1.7 (a serious problem with customers) or retruct the data model which costs alot of works to change the code...

So I'm trying to somehow make it working in some kind of stable at the moment and in parallel maybe find a better solution.

I've reduced the number of shards to 494 for all three nodes according to this [https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster)

ES heap size is set to 8GB, so for each node about 8\*20=160 shards. All the indexes are almost empty, almost no search, no indexing...

After stopping the master, on the other two nodes some times GET request on "localhost:9200/\_cluster/health" get stuck and doesn't respond and sometimes display the wrong information (display number\_of\_data\_nodes 3 which must be 2). Also after starting the stopped node, it doesn't join the cluster.

This is the logs of ES on the restarting node (old master):

Why this? It's a total waste of resources to have lot of empty shards...

We must save data for each customer separately in different indexes, otherwise our software won't be certified ☹

Fair enough. May be this strategy will require more data nodes then...  
Note that you can use filtered aliases to virtually separate the data.

I think it has nothing to do with number of shards....

I've closed all the indices but one, still the same issue...  
after stopping the master, executing the command "curl -XGET localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty" on the other two nodes just get stuck and after about 30s return "error 503 master\_not\_discovered\_exception..."

I've reduced the number of shards to 100 on three nodes.

Now cluster is faster, but the discovery problem still is there. By shutting down a master, other two nodes still trying to connect to the gone node and never do a master election although they are also master eligible.

In the logs it says that master is left and lists the available nodes:

![master-left](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/6/666955813983200992f802e6b373ed9d471f246a.png)

however it tries to connect to it and never give up....

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.

Could you also share your nodes settings and the master eligible nodes logs?

I used formatting in previous comments, however wanted to higlight some lines and sometimes they are some sensitive informations in the logs which I want to hide them in the images...

this is the nodes settings, same for all three:

When all your nodes are running, could you run:

```auto
GET /_cat/nodes?v

```

Then kill the master node and do that again on whatever node?

</div>

this is the output when all the nodes are running:

```

```

and this is the output when master is killed:

```

```

the node respond to the command `GET /_cat/node_s?v`

but no response to

`curl -XGET localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty`

Also after restarting the killed master, it never join the cluster. This is the log for the killed master after restarting:

When the master node is killed (step 2), could you run this:

```auto
curl -XGET 172.22.107.22:9200/_cluster/health?pretty
curl -XGET 172.22.107.20:9200/_cluster/health?pretty

```

After node `172.22.107.21` is killed we can clearly see that master node is now `172.22.107.22` which looks fine.

BTW could you share the full logs of the 3 nodes?

> Also after restarting the killed master, it never join the cluster.

I suspect something bad on the network side, like a firewall or something.  
May be you have something which prevents node `172.22.107.21` to connect to `172.22.107.22` on port `9300`?

Could check that? Including trying to telnet on that port from `172.22.107.21`?

</div>

command

> curl -XGET 172.22.107.22:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty

doesn't work since for the security reasons 9200 is closed for other ips.

port 9300 is reachable from other nodes, telnet respond.

It's not possible to upload txt files on the forum. I just can copy/paste the logs here which is limited to 7000 characters.
