Hi 

I've a 5 node cluster ( all master and data). I took a snaphot with 9GB 
worth of data. I had to restart all the nodes due to a few issues.
I'm now trying to restore data from that snapshot after restarting all 
nodes but the snapshots are not listed in the curl command although I see 
the physical files on the file server.

Note: At the time of snapshot, node1 was the elected master. After 
restarting, Node 3 is the elected master. 

*Before restarting the nodes:*
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all?pretty'
{
  "device_bkp" : {
    "type" : "fs",
    "settings" : {
      "compress" : "true",
      "location" : "/var/lib/elasticsearch/backups/device_bkp"
    }
  }
}

curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_snapshot/device_bkp/_all?pretty"
{
  "snapshots" : [ {
    "snapshot" : "snapshot_9g",
    "indices" : [ "device" ],
    "state" : "SUCCESS",
    "start_time" : "2014-04-28T15:37:17.112Z",
    "start_time_in_millis" : 1398699437112,
    "end_time" : "2014-04-28T15:39:05.964Z",
    "end_time_in_millis" : 1398699545964,
    "duration_in_millis" : 108852,
    "failures" : [ ],
    "shards" : {
      "total" : 5,
      "failed" : 0,
      "successful" : 5
    }
  } ]
}

*After restarting the nodes :*
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all?pretty'
{
  "device_bkp" : {
    "type" : "fs",
    "settings" : {
      "compress" : "true",
      "location" : "/var/lib/elasticsearch/backups/device_bkp"
    }
  }
}

curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_snapshot/device_bkp/_all?pretty"
{
  "snapshots" : [ ]
}

As you can see above, the snapshots are not listed in the second curl 
command. I then restarted the nodes until node1 becomes the elected master 
and the snapshots are recognized. 
Unless Node 1 becomes the elected master, the snapshots are not recognized. 
Is this expected? Am I missing something here?


Thanks,
Hasitha,.
