Hi,

The problem: Scroll scan does not return all data. The problem is not  
permanent, elasticsearch might return 100% of data or only 50% and it never  
throws an exception. A good indicator of the problem is "\_shard" section in  
the response, e.g.:

"\_shards": {"successful": 40, "failed": 0, "total": 50}

In this case 10 shards just refuse to do their job, but the number of  
"failed" shards for the same request is different. After looking at the  
logs the only info I found is:

[2014-07-24 17:43:49,814][DEBUG][action.search.type] [i-2722ca77]  
Node [6ilkis3hQdO8l4R9nnCA3g] not available for scroll request [...scroll  
id removed for readability ...]

Current configuration:  
50 shards, 3 replicas, 10 nodes, 650M docs  
version 0.90.10

Any ideas what's wrong?
