As per the documentation cat api will display output similar to
curl 192.168.56.10:9200/_cat/nodes

          good first issue
         
    
   
 
  
    [The docs](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current… /cat-nodes.html#cat-nodes) state that `curl $host:9200/_cat/nodes` should look like;
```
% curl 192.168.56.10:9200/_cat/nodes
SP4H 4727 192.168.56.30 9300 1.4.2 1.8.0_25 72.1gb 35.4 93.9mb 79 239.1mb 0.45 3.4h d m Boneyard
```
Instead, on a 1.4.2 instance I see this;
```
$ curl localhost:9200/_cat/nodes
bender.local 192.168.69.30 7 72 1.46 d * Shanna the She-Devil
$ curl localhost:9200/_cat/nodes?v
host         ip            heap.percent ram.percent load node.role master name
bender.local 192.168.69.30            8          72 1.34 d         *      Shanna the She-Devil
```
Where there is no version reported.
