I'm on 0.90.4. I restarted my cluster and I get not allocating, number\_of\_allocated\_shards\_found [0], required\_number [1] My cluster has 2 master nodes, 2 data nodes. I've set the minimum master to 2. Any ideas? I figured w/ 2 masters and setting the minimum to 2 I shouldn't get any weird split brain or data consistency issues...but it appears the cluster can't recover its state properly. -T -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
