I'm currently trying to run a stand-alone node along with a client (my code using Java API) on the same machine. I get this exception when I try to start up my code: 11/07/19 15:30:04 INFO discovery.zen: [Felicia Hardy] failed to send join request to master [[Fearmaster‚Äé][8lJ\_ukYyQG-7WlFOOrW5Vg][inet[/192.168.1.139:9300]]], reason [org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [Felicia Hardy][inet[/192.168.1.139:9300]][discovery/zen/join]; org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIllegalStateException: Node [[Felicia Hardy][F1KXXIhpTDqRokly-7RA0w][inet[/192.168.1.139:9300]]{client=true, data=false}] not master for join request from [[Felicia Hardy][F1KXXIhpTDqRokly-7RA0w][inet[/192.168.1.139:9300]]{client=true, data=false}]] I'm launching the stand-alone server like so: bin/elasticsearch -f -Des.config.file=config/elasticsearch.yml YML file that I use with stand-alone server: [http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276461](http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276461) And then for the client here's the code snippet which creates the connection: [http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276456](http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276456) JSON config file that I use in my code: [http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276458](http://xstevens.pastebin.mozilla.org/1276458) Notes on the code: configFile is definitely not null and gets loaded, storeData=false. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks in advance, -Xavier ---

What are the values that you pass in the properties? (local flag, and so on)? Why do you need to call node.start() if you "storeData" (not that its a problem, then node has already been started when you call nodeBuilder#node()).

Properties that are set: configFile=elasticsearch-release.json storeData=false (which is also the default) Since configFile isn't null the other properties aren't used here. I wasn't sure if I needed to call node.start() or not. So I can just remove it then. -Xavier On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 4:09 PM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > What are the values that you pass in the properties?

So I've narrowed this down a bit. I start up the elasticsearch server like so: bin/elasticsearch -f -Des.config.file=elasticsearch.yml It shows in the logs that it has elected itself as the master. So then when I fire up my client in eclipse debugger it gets all the way through to the join request in ZenDiscovery. The server side then sends back the exception which can only occur if it isn't the master. This is implying that ZenDiscovery.master is not set on the server which contradicts the logs. -Xavier > * * * > > Xavier Stevens [mailto:xavier.stevens@gmail.com](mailto:xavier.stevens@gmail.com) > July 19, 2011 4:21 PM > > Properties that are set: > configFile=elasticsearch-release.json > storeData=false (which is also the default) > > Since configFile isn't null the other properties aren't used here. > > I wasn't sure if I needed to call node.start() or not.
