Just getting started with elasticsearch. Once we set it up on two machines, they automatically detected each other, formed a cluster, and began replication (though it didn't complete). Since then, they never connect.
So far I haven't been able to find any successful fixes or resources to troubleshoot the issue. The first computer is Windows XP. The second is Windows 7. We also fired up a third (Windows 7) that was unable to connect with either. On the Windows 7 computer, however, we sometimes get the following logs in the elasticsearch.log when the XP starts elastic search: org.elasticsearch.transport.ConnectTransportException: [Zemo, Helmut][inet[/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9300]] connect_timeout[30s] at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToChannels(NettyTransport.java:711) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToNode(NettyTransport.java:640) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToNode(NettyTransport.java:608) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService.connectToNode(TransportService.java:129) at org.elasticsearch.discovery.zen.ping.multicast.MulticastZenPing$Receiver$2.run(MulticastZenPing.java:546) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information: /XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9300 at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.checkConnect(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.finishConnect(SocketChannelImpl.java:735) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.connect(NioClientBoss.java:150) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.processSelectedKeys(NioClientBoss.java:105) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.process(NioClientBoss.java:79) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioSelector.run(AbstractNioSelector.java:318) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.run(NioClientBoss.java:42) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.util.ThreadRenamingRunnable.run(ThreadRenamingRunnable.java:108) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.util.internal.DeadLockProofWorker$1.run(DeadLockProofWorker.java:42) ... 3 more [2014-01-14 18:40:27,842][WARN ][discovery.zen.ping.multicast] [Grey, Elaine] failed to connect to requesting node [Zemo, Helmut][ncfQANnkRmODwvV_E3f-cw][inet[/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9300]] org.elasticsearch.transport.ConnectTransportException: [Zemo, Helmut][inet[/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9300]] connect_timeout[30s] at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToChannels(NettyTransport.java:711) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToNode(NettyTransport.java:640) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.connectToNode(NettyTransport.java:608) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService.connectToNode(TransportService.java:129) at org.elasticsearch.discovery.zen.ping.multicast.MulticastZenPing$Receiver$2.run(MulticastZenPing.java:546) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information: /XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9300 at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.checkConnect(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.finishConnect(SocketChannelImpl.java:735) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.connect(NioClientBoss.java:150) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.processSelectedKeys(NioClientBoss.java:105) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.process(NioClientBoss.java:79) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioSelector.run(AbstractNioSelector.java:318) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioClientBoss.run(NioClientBoss.java:42) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.util.ThreadRenamingRunnable.run(ThreadRenamingRunnable.java:108) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.util.internal.DeadLockProofWorker$1.run(DeadLockProofWorker.java:42) ... 3 more Does anyone know the issue or any resources that walk through how to troubleshoot these issues? Everything I read seems to assume these issues don't exist because ElasticSearch is so easy to get up and running.
