Hi all, I've encountered some unexpected behaviour during my DR testing which I'm trying to explain.
I have a 3-node geographically-separated cluster with the following settings: - index.number_of_shards=5 - index.number_of_replicas=2 - discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2 I use number_of_replicas=2 for durability, so that each node will contain a full set to data (meaning I can lose 2 of my 3 nodes without losing any data). However I am finding that if I shut down 2 nodes, after adjusting minimum_master_nodes on the remaining node to 1 and restarting that node, the cluster stays yellow with all shards unassigned. They remain in the unassigned state until I manually reduce number_of_replicas to down 1 or 0. Once number_of_replicas <= number of nodes, the shards reassign and the cluster goes green. Just wondering if this behaviour is as designed? Regards, Mat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
