I got error below when execute as "service elasticsearch start" on Amazon  
Linux EC2.

[2014-07-22 09:21:57,405][DEBUG][bootstrap] Exception  
java.lang.NullPointerException

But when I tried to start using extracted tar file of elasticsearch, I was  
able to start but unable to join in the cluster the second node? still  
under Amazon Linux EC2. any idea why? could it be the availability\_zone.

Check if your Elasticsearch user has correct read/write permission on the  
"plugins" folder.

First, never run Elasticearch under super user privileges, nor unpack  
Elasticsearch with file owner root.

Second, as you notice, the "plugins" folder has wrong permissions.

Great! It is now running! Thank you so much for the help and time 🙂

But the second node can't added on the cluster.

If this is not what you want, check AWS cloud plugin for EC2 discovery

I tried EC2 discovery with the following settings, still keeps  
"elected\_as\_master" with the other node.

discovery.type: ec2  
discovery.ec2.groups: "security groups"  
discovery.ec2.host\_type: private\_ip  
cloud.aws.region: "ap-southeast-1"  
cloud.aws.access\_key: [access key]  
cloud.aws.secret\_key: [security key]  
cloud.node.auto\_attributes: true  
#discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

Security groups:

1. Allow inbound Source IP "any" to port 9200.
2. Allow inbound Source IP "any" to port 9300.
3. Allow inbound All Traffic within subnet.

it says from this link  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/issues/105](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/issues/105)As my  
firewall was blocking the connections from the private IPs, the ec2  
discovery was not working.  
so I "Allow inbound All Traffic within subnet" in security groups.

Finally! the node can now added/remove to the cluster with only four lines

cluster.name: Cluster  
node.name: "[node?]"  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node?"]

May next question is, where can I dump the data sources (using S3 or EBS),  
why?  
Then, how the data sources can now access by ES?
