Hi,

Today I saw these errors in the logs:

Message not fully read (response) for (master node)  
failed to send shard started to (data)

I've checked that all nodes are on the same version (0.19.12) and all using  
java 1.6.0\_32. I'm using unicast discovery.

Any clues/ideas? We are running a different version of ES (0.18 something)  
on the same servers but they have a different cluster-name, so they are not  
part of our 0.19.12 cluster...could the cluster names get mixed up somehow?

forgot to say...restarting the data node fixed the issue...but I'd like to  
get to the bottom of this to make sure we're stable in production.  
thanks

If you are mixing versions on the same network with multicast, each node has to communicate to each other to see if they belong to the same cluster.  
But, they can not talk to each other if they don't use the same major version.

That's the reason of this message.
