Ec2 discovery stopped working!

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Since yesterday, new client-only nodes I bring up can no longer discover
existing nodes on different machines ("waited for 30s and no initial state
was set by the discovery").

What's odd is that I haven't changed anything in my setup (elasticsearch
0.90.2, elasticsearch-cloud-aws 1.12.0, S3 gateway), and the machines are
in the same security group and can see each other (i.e. I can connect to
port 9200).

I've seen this problem previously, but only sporadically.

If I bring up a 2nd data node, rather than just a client node, the 1st data
node appears to get stuck in a "auto expanded replicas" loop and eventually
runs out of memory...

2013-08-01 10:47:41,620 [INFO] cluster.metadata - [Blindside] updating
number_of_replicas to [1] for indices [xyz]
2013-08-01 10:47:41,640 [INFO] cluster.metadata - [Blindside] [xyz] auto
expanded replicas to [1]
...

I tried setting "discovery.ec2.ping_timeout" to "15s", but that doesn't
make any difference. Other ideas?

Should add that I can telnet from the client machine to port 9300 on the
machine running elasticsearch.

What else could I check?

Well, if your node in not in the same C address IP (for example, master:
10.1.1.1, node: 10.1.2.1), you need to specify the params like this:
'discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.19.1.1"]
'

Right now I have a healthy cluster with nodes in different A networks
(e.g. 23.20.43.x and 54.221.47.x), so I don't think the
'discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts' parameter is required when using
the cloud-aws plugin. Other ideas?

Just ran into this again (elasticsearch 0.90.3, elasticsearch-cloud-aws
1.14.0): New nodes ignore existing nodes. The only solution appears to be
to shut down the entire cluster first :frowning:

Looking at the (TRACE-level) logs, the old nodes do seem to be discovered
at first, but then the new node elects itself as master,
http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health reports a single data node, and
shards are restored from S3!

Any ideas (other than don't use the ec2 discovery mechanism)?

For the record, this problem resurfaced again after a few weeks (now using
elasticsearch 0.19.7 and elasticsearch-cloud-aws 1.16.0)--I still don't
know what the cause is.

Reading the docs it says that aws plugin 1.16.0 is for elasticsearch 0.90.4
and higher. I would not expect it to run with 0.19.7.

I think Eric is using 0.90.7 and not 0.19.7…

Here is the log file (leading up to the the
"org.elasticsearch.discovery.MasterNotDiscoveredException: waited for
[30s]" exception) :

application.log · GitHub

There are two other machines running, both with a client-only and a data
node, and there's nothing obviously wrong with the cluster:

curl -XGET 'http://10.10.209.204:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'
{
"cluster_name" : "prod-39",
"status" : "green",
"timed_out" : false,
"number_of_nodes" : 4,
"number_of_data_nodes" : 2,
"active_primary_shards" : 226,
"active_shards" : 452,
"relocating_shards" : 0,
"initializing_shards" : 0,
"unassigned_shards" : 0
}

But as mentioned previously, the only way to recover from this situation is
to shut down all nodes (or copy the data and start a new cluster).

It might be worth upgrading to 0.90.X, from what I have seen there was some
major improvements in discovery.
