Hey all, I have two elastic search nodes running. The replica shards are frequently becoming unassigned. I have the _same version of elasticsearch and java running_ on both nodes. The stack of the error I get (from the perspective of the node which is "master") is below (note this is using the mapper attachments plugin). The replication fails due to an error in parsing the document (which for some reason only occurred on the replica and not the primary). Thereafter the node becomes unassigned. Note I also round robin requests between the nodes in my cluster.
