I've ES 6.2.4 installed on a 4 nodes cluster,  
all work fantastic.

We had a network outage for several ours where all the nodes couldn't communicate  
between them.

The master decided that all the rest of the 3 nodes aren't reachable any longer and disabled them.

I had to shutdown the cluster and turn it back on to get the rest of the nodes discovered back,  
any suggestions on a better way to achieve it (especially automatically) ?

Thanks
