Hi all,
I am getting timeout exceptions with elastic search while deleting an index
and while looking for logs in kibana its taking lot of time to load logs.
Following are the log details and setup info.
API Call for deleting an Index:
curl -XDELETE '[http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.08.21](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2014.08.21)'
{"error":"ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException[failed to process cluster
event (delete-index [logstash-2014.08.21]) within 30s]","status":503}
Logs from master node: (setup is cluster of 2 nodes)
[http://pastebin.com/hUZEf26d](http://pastebin.com/hUZEf26d)
Logs from other node
[http://pastebin.com/HxWppiYL](http://pastebin.com/HxWppiYL)
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Node1",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.2.2",
"build\_hash" : "9902f08efc3ad14ce27882b991c4c56b920c9872",
"build\_timestamp" : "2014-07-09T12:02:32Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "4.8"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true)'
{
"cluster\_name" : "xxxxx",
"status" : "green",
"timed\_out" : false,
"number\_of\_nodes" : 2,
"number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 2,
"active\_primary\_shards" : 270,
"active\_shards" : 540,
"relocating\_shards" : 0,
"initializing\_shards" : 0,
"unassigned\_shards" : 0
}
Java version on the system
java version "1.7.0\_09-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.3.4.1.el6\_3-x86\_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
I am using HQ plugin to visualize the elasticsearch plugin, but that plugin
is taking lot of time to load the cluster info.
what might be causing the timeouts to happen. Any inputs will be greatly
appreciated.
please let me know if any other details are required.
Thanks!
Shriyansh

How much data is in the cluster? How big are your nodes?
You're running a very old version of Java, recommended is 1.7u55 or
greater, and Oracle not OpenJDK.

Hi Mark,
The data is around id 150GB.
The master node holds : 16 GB RAM with ES\_HEAP\_SIZE = 8GB
The other node holds : 16 GB RAM with ES\_HEAP\_SIZE = 8 GB
I will get the version updated with Oracle Java, will that solve the issue.?
Thanks!

It won't solve it but it may help.
You have some pretty large GC's happening, some getting close to the 30s
default ping timeout.
You can try increasing discovery.zen.fd.ping\_timeout but you may want to
consider adding another node in to generally help relieve heap pressure and
improve performance, 3 nodes is much better than 2!

I have stopped collecting all the data from logstash( as I am using ELK
stack), but it still I am getting pretty large GC's (as you mentioned). Can
you please point me out what might be the reason for that.?
Thank you for the suggestion and pointing me out the error, I appreciate it
and will consider increasing the number of nodes of the cluster.
Thanks!

You either need to add more nodes, reduce your dataset, increase the heap
or close some old indexes.

Thank you mark for pointing me out with the situation. As I am trying to
delete the index I am getting timeouts for that. But you suggested me to
increase discovery.zen.fd.ping\_timeout to get rid of that. I am not able to
see any such variable in elasticsearch.yml file.
Can you please point me how to increase discovery.zen.fd.ping\_timeout.
Thanks!
