Hi Andre,

Sadly you need an active master to change settings that were introduced 
through the API and the min_master_nodes settings update caused the master 
to step down and prevents a new one from being elected. I think this is 
trappy and I opened a PR to protect against it 
: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/pull/8321

You can recover you data by wiping the cluster state files from disk and 
letting the indices be imported (i.e., dangling indices) but it's tricky 
and very sensitive to mistakes. Let me know if you want to try that out.

Cheers,
Boaz
