I'm experiencing split brain problem on my Elasticsearch cluster on Azure, consisting of two nodes. I've read about the zen.ping.timeout and discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes settings, but I guess that I can't use those settings, when using the Azure plugin. Any ideas for avoiding split brain using the Azure plugin? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Yes you can use min master nodes. If not working, please open an issue in azure plugin project. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 27 mars 2014 à 20:10, Thomas Ardal [thomasardal@gmail.com](mailto:thomasardal@gmail.com) a écrit : ## I'm experiencing split brain problem on my Elasticsearch cluster on Azure, consisting of two nodes.
