Hi All,

In our Production cluster ES 1.7.2 we are using 3 master nodes, 3 data nodes & 1 client node and in the dedicated master log I can see the below warning message,

Can someone help me why I am getting this warning?

Probably that, nodes in ES can timeout if GC is above 30 seconds.

Hi @warkolm

30 seconds is default value in Elasticsearch (or) Can we change it manually to avoid the time out exception?

You can change it (check zen discovery docs), but that's not really fixing the problem causing it, so chances are you will run into the same problem again.

Okay..

ES time out took more than 30s to ping response from other nodes when discovering.  
@warkolm this warning might be because of network latency?

Thanks for your response @warkolm

If possible can you pls check the below request,

> [@Movement of document from one shard to another shard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/movement-of-document-from-one-shard-to-another-shard/39196):
