The log message you posted is unlikely to be causing problems with cluster formation.
- It's a
DEBUG
message, not an actual error. Sometime the debug messages help understand the cause of problems, but cluster formation problems will report an actualERROR
orWARN
message. - It's specically about
REST request [/]
and the nodes don't communicated with one another using the REST interface. - As @spinscale answered in your other post, this message means that you made a request to a node that requires authentication, but you didn't supply any credentials.
