Process Cluster Event Timeout Exception

Hi List,
I am getting this ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException when I try to create
a new index. What could cause it? I have a medium size cluster (EC2 - XL)
with 4 nodes. The cluster status is yellow because of some unassigned nodes
but things are moving along. Any idea why I am getting that error? Is there
any fix/workaround?. Also I have experienced ES is taking so much time to
assign shards, is that IO expensive process?

Hey,

do you have any logfiles you could share in a gist maybe? Can you also post
the elasticsearch and jvm versions you are using and the steps you are
executing to reproduce this problem? Does this happen with an empty cluster
(no data in it) and can be reliable reproduced as well?

thanks!

Here's the exception I got - Elasticsearch - Process Cluster Timeout Exception - Pastebin.com

Elasticsearch Version - 0.90.3
JVM Version - Java version "1.7.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
(build 1.7.0_40-b43) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56,
mixed mode)

I am using Oracle Java

JVM flags being used for Elasticsearch -
-Xms11g -Xmx11g -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75
-XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

We have around 1.5k small indexes. I could reproduce the problem, when I
was creating index using Bulk API. (Refresh Interval was set to -1). And
there were thousands of unassigned shards in the cluster. I never tried
this on an empty cluster.

Hey,

these exceptions look like from some clojure application? I suspect this is
your client. Is there anything in the logfiles of your elasticsearch
instance/cluster?
Also do you have unbounded max open files for the elasticsearch user
configured (you should see this as well in your elasticsearch
instance/cluster log files)?

Reopening the discussion after two months and continuing.

I didn't have much useful information in log files. I have set max
open files to 999999.
