Hi Team,

I have added one more master node along with 2 other master nodes... PFB, my config chages:

(added host3 along with host2 and host1)  
node.master: true  
node.data: true  
index.number\_of\_shards: 3  
index.number\_of\_replicas: 2  
gateway.recover\_after\_nodes: 3  
gateway.expected\_nodes: 3  
discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2","host3"]

But host1 is down now...showing below error:

Can't tell without seeing the whole content with proper formatting (you can use `</>` icon when posting)

Just be careful with indentation. Might be your issue.
