Getting the exception, **master\_not\_discovered\_exception** when running [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v) in the browser.  
I verified that the master node is present by running [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes](http://localhost:9200/_nodes) and I got the output as "roles":[  
"master",  
"data",  
"ingest"  
]

And there's only one node.
