Hey guys, Regarding the rolling restart instructions: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/\_rolling\_restarts.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_rolling_restarts.html) Step 5 states "Restart the node, and confirm that it joins the cluster." Can you advise the best way to programmatically confirm that the local node has joined the cluster?

I'd use the \_cat API and then just grep for the node name.
