Hello! It seems that your cluster doesn't have master elected, which means that there are some issues. Please look at your logs and see what you can find there. Do you have minimum\_master\_nodes property set in your ElasticSearch configuration ? If you do, check if the number of master eligible nodes in your cluster is sufficient for the master to be elected (at least the number specified by that property). Also, you can see what your cluster health looks like, by running the following command: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty' _--_ Regards, Rafał Kuć Sematext :: [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) _:: Solr - Lucene - Nutch - ElasticSearch_ When I execute the following query: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/development\_users/user/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/development_users/user/_mapping)' I get the following error: {"error":"MasterNotDiscoveredException[waited for [30s]]","status":503} Can anybody please explain me, what is going wrong and what should I do to fix this? -- Thanks, Aash -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
