Once I have enabled clustering, at times, I see elasticsearch takes few mins to comes up. That time I saw a timeout error in OS. I saw only TimeoutStopSec in elasticsearch.service. So should I create timeout conf file in systemd/system?

I have barely no idea of what you're taking about.

What is that? How did you "activate" that?

Could you share elasticsearch logs?

Sorry if Im not clear. My elasticsearch node was not in clustering earlier. Then I bring up other nodes and created elasticsearch cluster. Once I have done changes to each node, Im restarting elasticsearch. At times, in one of the nodes I was seeing elasticsearch start timeout issue
