Elasticsearch 2.0 aws-cloud network issue

I use aws (VPC) for ES cluster.
After upgrading fron ES 1.7.2 to ES 2.0 i have network issues ->
[WARN ][transport.netty ] [es2-data.localdomain] exception caught on transport layer [[id: 0xd878a1ca, /10.111.112.87:38887 => /10.111.112.176:9300]], closing connection

There is no nodes dicovery

$: curl localhost:9200/_nodes/process?pretty
The problem is that the "transport_address" : "127.0.0.1:9300" is set to localhost in (ES 2.0)
where in ES 1.7.2 the transport_address is "transport_address" : "inet[/10.111.112.86:9300]"

My question is how to set correctly the network settings in ES 2.0 in order to use the private ip.

Read this: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/cloud-aws-discovery.html#cloud-aws-discovery-network-host

I read this, not sure how to use the proper settings.

May be you missed the lines just above?

 network.host: _ec2_

Should work

I tried this and got this exception:

[2015-11-24 07:07:09,820][ERROR][bootstrap ] Guice Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant org.elasticsearch.discovery.ec2.AwsEc2UnicastHostsProvider.HostType.EC2

My settings elasticsearch,yml

cluster.name: ABC

node.name: ABCDEFGH.localdomain
node.master: true
node.data: true

discovery.ec2.availability_zones: ["eu-west-1a", "eu-west-1b"]

It sounds like a bug to me.

Do you have a full stack trace?

Could you try with _ec2: privateIp_?

I tried with:
network.host: _ ec2:privateIp _

could not do:

ubuntu@es-data2:~$ curl localhost:9200/_nodes/process?pretty
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused

Everything looks fine here. It bounds to 10.111.112.87 (ec2 private IP) so you need to run curl 10.111.112.87:9200.

But could you run the same again with _ec2_ and paste the stack trace?

with _ ec2 _ i had earlier a typeo,

I am using now network.host: _ ec2 _ and see that the transport_address is ok (the 2 nodes creates a cluster) but in the log there are still many exceptions:

You are mixing node versions apparently.

Some "older" nodes are trying to communicate with this new one.

See https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/14400

I will check it.
Indeed i am trying to upgrade from 1.7 to 2.0. There might be running ES v1.7
Will update...
