Node evicted itself?

node5 in my 5 nodes cluster somehow left the party... its log says :

According to the logs:
your master 10.212.19.10 can't ping the node 10.212.19.14 and removed it
from the cluster
your node 10.212.19.14 can't ping the master and elected itself as a new
master

Since both nodes can't reach each other, you end up with 2 standalone
clusters. To avoid that check your network, configure
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes or set node.master to false on the
second node.

Thanks Tanguy.
These are VMs on the same virtual VLAN... hard to guess what a network
issue would be. iptables was not modified...

Right now, I can ping and telnet to port 9300, from both node1 to 5 and
from 5 to 1. Still, node 5 elected itself master of a cluster of four, not
including node1, and node1 does not seem to see node5.

Hi Mohamed,

If you can ping and telnet, then your node should be able to join the
cluster if you use unicast discovery (see the ES configuration). By
default it uses multicast, and maybe your VLAN has trouble with that.

Could mulicast work for when the cluster is first started and then later
not work?
I would imagine if the VLAN works for the first case, it should continue
to work for the latter case, no?

I now remember that this happened to me before, when the master did not
discover all other four nodes and had to shutdown everybody and start
over...

What VLAN configuration aspects would be relevant to IP multicast?

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

So I restarted all my nodes, since my last post, I guess 2 days ago, my
cluster was back green, 5/5.
I had made one change to the config, in the hope it would prevent this
issue from reoccurring:

discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2

Now I find that my cluster is again down to 4/5... the master logged:

On the master all I see is:

zen-disco-node_failed([ES5][-a6YMTDKQvWwonzcZ_S4eQ][inet[/10.212.19.14:9300]]),

reason failed to ping, tried [3] times, each with maximum [30s]
timeout

What happened? and how do you put this node back ?

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.
