I've upgraded a couple of clusters to 1.4.0 from 1.3.4. On both of them, I had nodes that spewed the following, and were slow to join, if they joined at all:

I'm able to telnet to port 9300 on gnslogstash10 in this example from gnslogstash3 with no issue, but this cluster doesn't want to bring all its nodes up. The more nodes added, the more likely a join will fail. In this example, 9 nodes are up, but 3 nodes don't want to join. ☹ Thoughts?

OK, it also happens to some degree with 1.4.0-beta, although overall it’s much better on beta. I wasn’t able to get my 12 node cluster up on 1.4.0 after several hours of fiddling, but 1.4.0-beta did come up.

More hours of working – even when I get a 1.4.0 cluster up, masters wouldn’t fail over – when I took master1 down, neither master2 or master3 would promote themselves. In 1.4.0-beta it fails over quickly.

OK, it also happens to some degree with 1.4.0-beta, although overall it’s much better on beta. I wasn’t able to get my 12 node cluster up on 1.4.0 after several hours of fiddling, but 1.4.0-beta did come up.

I’ve upgraded a couple of clusters to 1.4.0 from 1.3.4. On both of them, I had nodes that spewed the following, and were slow to join, if they joined at all:

## I’m able to telnet to port 9300 on gnslogstash10 in this example from gnslogstash3 with no issue, but this cluster doesn’t want to bring all its nodes up. The more nodes added, the more likely a join will fail. In this example, 9 nodes are up, but 3 nodes don’t want to join. ☹ Thoughts?

Hi,

The logs you mentioned indicate that the nodes try to join the cluster but  
it takes too long for a complete verification cycle (connect back to node  
and publish cluster state to it) takes too long. It seems there is  
something going on your masters.

Can you check the logs over there? Also are you using multicast or unicast  
discovery?

I had similar issues when upgrading from 1.3.4 to 1.4  
from my elasticsearch.yml

discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:.....

I could get it up and running after restarting the whole cluster (which was  
bad since I'm using it for realtime logging).

Hi VincentYou should be able to do a rolling upgrade to version 1.4 from 1.3.4. Can you say more about the issues your were seeing? Any errors in the logs?

Cheers,

I’m also using unicast discovery, as multicast doesn’t work on Azure. I ended up in a bad position - 1.4 wouldn’t come up all the way, but 1.3.4 wouldn’t accept shards with the new lucene version. I ended up rebuilding the cluster, and I’m going to have to backfill from text logs. A fresh 1.4 cluster works fine, but after two days I couldn’t get the upgraded cluster to work. I’m glad to hear someone else had a similar issue.

I could get it up and running after restarting the whole cluster (which was bad since I'm using it for realtime logging).

Hi,

The logs you mentioned indicate that the nodes try to join the cluster but it takes too long for a complete verification cycle (connect back to node and publish cluster state to it) takes too long. It seems there is something going on your masters.

Can you check the logs over there? Also are you using multicast or unicast discovery?

OK, it also happens to some degree with 1.4.0-beta, although overall it’s much better on beta. I wasn’t able to get my 12 node cluster up on 1.4.0 after several hours of fiddling, but 1.4.0-beta did come up.

I’ve upgraded a couple of clusters to 1.4.0 from 1.3.4. On both of them, I had nodes that spewed the following, and were slow to join, if they joined at all:

## I’m able to telnet to port 9300 on gnslogstash10 in this example from gnslogstash3 with no issue, but this cluster doesn’t want to bring all its nodes up. The more nodes added, the more likely a join will fail. In this example, 9 nodes are up, but 3 nodes don’t want to join. ☹ Thoughts?

Hi Janet,

Was there anything in the master logs, i.e., gnslogstash10 in your  
example?

Cheers,

There was nothing in the master logs. It’s like they were asleep.

Hi Janet,

Was there anything in the master logs, i.e., gnslogstash10 in your example?

Cheers,

I ended up rebuilding the cluster, and I’m going to have to backfill from text logs. A fresh 1.4 cluster works fine, but after two days I couldn’t get the upgraded cluster to work. I’m glad to hear someone else had a similar issue.

I could get it up and running after restarting the whole cluster (which was bad since I'm using it for realtime logging).

Hi,

The logs you mentioned indicate that the nodes try to join the cluster but it takes too long for a complete verification cycle (connect back to node and publish cluster state to it) takes too long. It seems there is something going on your masters.

Can you check the logs over there? Also are you using multicast or unicast discovery?

OK, it also happens to some degree with 1.4.0-beta, although overall it’s much better on beta. I wasn’t able to get my 12 node cluster up on 1.4.0 after several hours of fiddling, but 1.4.0-beta did come up.

I’ve upgraded a couple of clusters to 1.4.0 from 1.3.4. On both of them, I had nodes that spewed the following, and were slow to join, if they joined at all:

## I’m able to telnet to port 9300 on gnslogstash10 in this example from gnslogstash3 with no issue, but this cluster doesn’t want to bring all its nodes up. The more nodes added, the more likely a join will fail. In this example, 9 nodes are up, but 3 nodes don’t want to join. ☹ Thoughts?

I’m glad to hear someone else had a similar issue.

I could get it up and running after restarting the whole cluster (which was bad since I'm using it for realtime logging).

Hi,

The logs you mentioned indicate that the nodes try to join the cluster but it takes too long for a complete verification cycle (connect back to node and publish cluster state to it) takes too long. It seems there is something going on your masters.

Can you check the logs over there? Also are you using multicast or unicast discovery?

OK, it also happens to some degree with 1.4.0-beta, although overall it’s much better on beta. I wasn’t able to get my 12 node cluster up on 1.4.0 after several hours of fiddling, but 1.4.0-beta did come up.

I’ve upgraded a couple of clusters to 1.4.0 from 1.3.4. On both of them, I had nodes that spewed the following, and were slow to join, if they joined at all:

## I’m able to telnet to port 9300 on gnslogstash10 in this example from gnslogstash3 with no issue, but this cluster doesn’t want to bring all its nodes up. The more nodes added, the more likely a join will fail. In this example, 9 nodes are up, but 3 nodes don’t want to join. ☹ Thoughts?

I see. Do you mind sharing the logs somewhere of the nodes? (privately via  
e-mail also possible). I'd love to understand what happend.
