ES seems to be stuck in resyncing mappings

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am revisiting this archived thread:

I have gisted my log here:

We are also experiencing this problem with version 0.17.6

Does anyone have any insight as to how this can happen?

Is it something you can easily recreate? Can you post your mappings
definition for "default"?

It is easy to re-create, we don't run into this problem when indexing
to a single index. This seems to happen if several indices are being
created in a burst.

Here is the default mapping def:

Can you post a sample curl indexing that recreates it? I assume that just
starting two nodes, with the below configuration and indexing a doc causes
that?

I did not manage to recreate it, but I think I found where it might happen.
Pushed a fix: dynamic templates might cause elasticsearch to keep resync mappings · Issue #1257 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub(its
on 0.17 branch as well). Can you check it if helps?
