Hey guys,

for some testing reasons, i activated the DEBUG log in elasticsearch and  
saw that the following messages appears every 5-10 seconds:

[2014-10-20 08:18:09,507][DEBUG][cluster.service] [NODE]  
processing [index-aliases]: execute  
[2014-10-20 08:18:09,509][DEBUG][cluster.service] [NODE]  
processing [index-aliases]: no change in cluster\_state

The problem is, if this happends search queries in Kibana get "stuck",  
meaning if you click on the "execute search" button nothing happends for  
about 3-4, till this message appears in the elasticsearch log.

Unfortunately googling doesnt helped me to find out, whats causing this.

Anyone got an idea what this message is telling me?

Thanks
