Hi,

I have a 12 node cluster (3 master, 4 data, 5 client) running on AWS.  
I am using the cloud-aws plugin.

Currently I am running 1.5.0, but this has been happening on 1.4.3 as well  
(not at all before 1.4.3)

Every once in a while, a node (data node most of the time) appears to get  
disconnected ("node-xxx left") then re-connects ("node-xxx joined"), mostly  
within 1-3 minutes.  
This entails the cluster status being YELLOW for the time of of disconnect  
plus the time it takes to validate all the shards.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? Does anyone have an idea how to  
resolve this issue?

Thanks  
Noni.

Are you running across regions?

I am not running across regions, but I am running on 2 availability zones  
in the same region.  
I have 2 data nodes in each region, and each shard is replicated exactly  
twice, once in each region.

Can you take a look at [Hanging transport connection thread on EC2 · Issue #10447 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/10447)  
and see if you can replicate it the next time this happens?
