Elasticsearch error – failed to connect to master
Elastic Search Version : 1.4.4 Device : Mac OS When ever I start elastic search, sometimes I'll get an error like this failed to connect to master [[Sea Urchin][OCeACmvgQsqw-uRUq25UFA][Srinivasan.local][inet[/192.168.1.12:9300]]], retrying... Eventually I found the root cause of this issue. As I’m running elasticsearch on a single server ( development environment ), I had to do only one thing Go to config/elasticsearch.yml and enable discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
