I have an ES cluster with 5 nodes on different SLES VM's. I keep getting this error when I start the ES nodes and they don't form a cluster [2012-06-27 01:38:54,052][WARN][discovery.zen.ping.multicast] [Nikki] received ping response ping\_response{target [[Wildside][lcw2NIVjTr- KfreUoPE0yg][inet[/10.247.24.194:9300]]{data=false}], master [[Wildside][lcw2NIVjTr-KfreUoPE0yg][inet[/10.247.24.194:9300]] {data=false}], cluster\_name[losaq-es-cluster-afzal]} with no matching id [1] [2012-06-27 01:38:54,051][WARN][discovery.zen.ping.multicast] [Nikki] received ping response ping\_response{target [[Douglas Ramsey] [i6ypp9DSQoO3FQ6WXLwe1Q][inet[/10.247.24.189:9300]]], master [[Douglas Ramsey][i6ypp9DSQoO3FQ6WXLwe1Q][inet[/10.247.24.189:9300]]], cluster\_name[losaq-es-cluster-afzal]} with no matching id [1] [2012-06-27 01:38:54,052][WARN][discovery.zen.ping.multicast] [Nikki] received ping response ping\_response{target [[Ghost Maker] [O3ISfKmaQIKdDt19x3\_O9g][inet[/10.247.24.193:9300]]], master [[Ghost Maker][O3ISfKmaQIKdDt19x3\_O9g][inet[/10.247.24.193:9300]]], cluster\_name[losaq-es-cluster-afzal]} with no matching id [1] ---

Are your nodes on the same network ? Did you open 9300 port on each node ? Did you change your settings file ?

yes, yes and yes. Not sure if it is a bug. This got resolved when I started the data node first and then started other nodes. Is there a sequence that needs to be followed?

Hmmm. That means that you define one "regular" node, and others don't hold any data ? I don't know if a "client only node" can be elected as a master. But, yes, it's best to start your cluster (with all data nodes) before starting clients.

I hope so check discovery.zen.ping.timeout in ES\_HOME/config/elasticsearch.yml if timeout value is 3s then i propose to change about 10s 2012년 6월 27일 수요일 오후 2시 54분 51초 UTC+9, ajan 님의 말: > I have an ES cluster with 5 nodes on different SLES VM's.
