Hello, I startup 4 nodes on 2 machines, and when create index, all replicas are unassigned. { "cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch\_log", "status" : "yellow", "timed\_out" : false, "number\_of\_nodes" : 4, "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 4, "active\_primary\_shards" : 22, "active\_shards" : 22, "relocating\_shards" : 0, "initializing\_shards" : 0, "unassigned\_shards" : 22 } How can I do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I would check for the Java version on each machine. I had the same problem on a running cluster when adding a node, and unfortunately the last node had Java 1.7.0\_65 instead of 1.7.0\_55 (recommended version and the version of my other machines). I did not have the time to create a post explaining the whole problem. But, in summary, I ran a default install script using apt-get and, by default, they use the "latest" Java version. One big problem for me is that they do not support versioned jdk installation and I could not find a deb package for 1.7.0\_55. Maybe someone here can help with this. The "problematic" command: apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless -y Regards, Pablo Musa On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 10:31:24 PM UTC-3, Sephen Xu wrote: > Hello, > > I startup 4 nodes on 2 machines, and when create index, all replicas are > unassigned. > > { > "cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch\_log", > "status" : "yellow", > "timed\_out" : false, > "number\_of\_nodes" : 4, > "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 4, > "active\_primary\_shards" : 22, > "active\_shards" : 22, > "relocating\_shards" : 0, > "initializing\_shards" : 0, > "unassigned\_shards" : 22 > } > > How can I do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

googled: elasticsearch java 1.6.0\_45 shard unassigned [Replication fails with indeterminate error in basic configuration · Issue #3145 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3145) (search for 1.6) [Redirecting to Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/elasticsearch/MSrKvfgKwy0/Tfk6nhlqYxYJ) For all that I have researched it points to Java version problem. You could try some things as settings replicas to 0 and putting it back to 1 or forcing allocation (do not remember the exact command, but google for unassigned chards and you will find it), but I do not think that they will work. I really would try installing a new version of Java and running Elasticsearch using it.

Hi,Pablo, I have tried settings replicas to zero and putting it back to 1, it does not work as you say. And finally, I found, when I turn cluster.routing.allocation.same\_shard.host: true to false, the replicas was work well. But on other cluster, this setting does not affect use. And the official document is to describe this set: cluster.routing.allocation.same\_shard.hostAllows to perform a check to prevent allocation of multiple instances of the same shard on a single host, based on host name and host address. Defaults to false, meaning that no check is performed by default. This setting only applies if multiple nodes are started on the same machine. Why is this so?

uh...'other cluster' is means that another 2 machine build a four node cluster, and it work fine with cluster.routing.allocation.same\_shard.host: true. And the problem clusters can work fine with cluster.routing.allocation.same\_shard.host: false.

Hi, Did you find the solution to this. I have the EXACT same issue. 2 Servers with 4 nodes (2 nodes on each), and only when "cluster.routing.allocation.same\_shard.host: true", all replicas stay unassigned and no new replica shards get created.
