my ES server keeps getting crashes and from logs I get the following  
exception.  
Could you tell me what does the following exception means?

[2012-07-14 11:39:41,025][WARN][transport.netty] [raftaar]  
Message read past expected size (response) for [257789] handler  
org.elasticsearch.action.support.nodes.TransportNodesOperationAction$AsyncAction$4@1b18929,  
error [false], resetting

You are running different major versions of elasticsearch in the same  
cluster?
