I was trying to renew the node\_pem certificate for the nodes in the elasticsearch cluster and the cluster became unavailable in the logs i can see : `[master_10.118.12.10] master not discovered or elected yet, an election requires at least 2 nodes with ids from [_TOgCmXVSmOxf1Y0SQLmmA, 8J8HixVFRLu-XrAeZDWHBg, XqddOB4MQ2e2uMzP4SgJdA], have discovered [{master_10.118.12.10}{XqddOB4MQ2e2uMzP4SgJdA}{ZtFdSfz7RzmKvYhYaPIPSA}{10.118.12.10}{10.118.12.10:9300}{im}{availability_zone=eu-central-1c}] which is not a quorum; discovery will continue using [127.0.0.1:9300, 10.118.10.11:9300, 10.118.10.56:9300, 10.118.10.69:9300, 10.118.11.13:9300, 10.118.11.73:9300, 10.118.11.248:9300, 10.118.12.10:9300] from hosts providers and [{master_10.118.12.10}{XqddOB4MQ2e2uMzP4SgJdA}{ZtFdSfz7RzmKvYhYaPIPSA}{10.118.12.10}{10.118.12.10:9300}{im}{availability_zone=eu-central-1c}] from last-known cluster state; node term 2, last-accepted version 324193 in term 2` ---
