I upgraded from 0.14.4 to 0.16.2. over the weekend. I made sure to do  
everything from scratch, including the service wrapper script,  
rebuilding the indices and repopulating the data. Since then the nodes  
in my 2 node cluster keep shutting down every few hours (seems like  
6-10 hours). The logs (which were running in WARN level) don't  
indicate any strangeness and the memory usage seems fine. Any ideas  
whether the upgrade might've caused something?

I've changed the log level to DEBUG and will see whether that reveals  
any abnormalities, but just wanted to check in case there could be  
something obvious.

I think this was my fault.. Discovered I had ensure=\>stopped in Puppet  
config for ES service for some reason.
