Sometimes, the nodes in the cluster can't see other nodes which caused the  
cluster become to yellow.  
Even if all the test load stopped for long time(the resource usage CPU,  
Memory, Disk seem OK), the nodes still can't recovered to green  
automatically except restart the ES.

Is there any way to let the nodes come back to the cluster without  
restarting the ES?

Which discovery protocol are you using? They shouldn't be losing connection  
in the first place. In terms of recovery, check out your Gateway  
settings. I can't say I'm too familiar with it, but it might be what  
you're looking for.
