Hello, I have some integration test of my application. The integration test starts own elastic search instance by _node = nodeBuilder().settings(settings).local(true).node();_ and do its job. However, I have other, running elastic search instance on my computer. I observed that runnich elastic search instance and integration test instance establish a connection (because I see IO exception in running ES log when integration test is terminated) My question is: how to configure ES for integration test to make sure it is isolated against any other working ES in my computer/LAN? I tried settings _.put("multicast.enabled","false") .put("discovery.zen.ping.multicast.ping.enabled", "false")_ but without success best regards Michal Domagala ---

Here is the elasticsearch property file I use for JUnit tests: # Node test setup cluster.name=junit.cluster name=junit.node # Disable network discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=false node.local=true # Using less filesystem as possible index.store.type=memory index.store.fs.memory.enabled=true index.gateway.type=none gateway.type=none # If ES needs to write something, it's here path.data=${mytarget}/data path.logs=${mytarget}/logs # Index are minimalists by default index.number\_of\_shards=1 index.number\_of\_replicas=0 HTH David.

Michal, Maybe I do not understand your question enough... We have 4 ES clusters inside our LAN without any problem. We simply ensure we have unique cluster name for each cluster and we also use Unicast and list all the nodes IP address for that cluster in the elasticsearch.yml config file for each cluster. That should do it. --Andrew On May 10, 10:19 am, Michal Domagala [outsider...@gmail.com](mailto:outsider...@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello, > > I have some integration test of my application.

Problem is that ES find other nodes in the LAN and ask each of them the cluster name. But, If you have one instance running 0.17.1, one other with 0.18.1 and the last one on 0.19.1, nodes can not speak to each others. That's why it could be better to isolate nodes when doing unit tests. My 2 cents David.

You set the node to local(true), this means it will not discover other nodes using network, only within the same JVM.

Hey, Have a look at this project: [GitHub - elasticsearchfr/hands-on at answers](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/tree/answers) It will help you to start with JUnit tests.
