Suitable Applications to build on top of Elastic Search

Elastic Community and Ecosystem

Hi,

We have used elastic search in our Subscriber and Billing application. And we have used it with 2 nodes and with HA set up. Note this is hosted on premises not on cloud. We are facing nodes getting corrupted and indexes getting un-assigned. So we wanted to know is this normal behavior of elastic or we are using wrongly elastic search or we are using elastic search for a some thing which it is not developed for?

2 nodes will not give you a fully HA setup. As Elasticsearch is a consensus based system, you need a minimum of 3 master eligible nodes in order to get it highly available for both reads and writes.

If you have two or three master eligible nodes, you need to set minimum_master_nodes to 2 in order to avoid split brain scenarios.

Thanks a lot for reply Christan. It's a typo mistake we do have a 3 nodes and all three nodes setup as master nodes with 1 shard and 2 replicas.
