Hello,  
I have an old cluster of ES 0.20.1, and it worked fine until recently one  
node got disconnected for unknown reason (probably network failure), and  
after restart it tries to join master but sends request to itself and  
failing with such message:

[2014-08-25 13:59:11,768][INFO][transport] [es-5]  
bound\_address {inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]}, publish\_address  
{inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]}  
[2014-08-25 13:59:14,980][INFO][discovery.zen] [es-5] failed  
to send join request to master [[van Dyne,  
Janet][GhTyDsKjReWbQydbsmTSSw][inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]]], reason  
[org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException:  
[es-5][inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]][discovery/zen/join];  
org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIllegalStateException: Node  
[[es-5][fbR1Fd2sS4KnA4U5nWMqtw][inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]]] not master for  
join request from  
[[es-5][fbR1Fd2sS4KnA4U5nWMqtw][inet[/10.128.14.228:9300]]]]

Note, that bound\_address and publish\_address are set, and the configured  
node name is [es-5] now (it was set recently as well). But the node calls [van  
Dyne, Janet] which I believe is the old node's name, with the same IP as it  
is.  
If anyway to heal this situation without full cluster restart?  
Thank you,  
Eugene
