Hey, these two settings to not have a lot in common, wondering in what context you see them the same.
minimum_master_nodes setting is only about the count of available nodes, which are eligible to become a master in order to actually have an existing master in a cluster. write_consistency qourum is actually a check when a document is indexed (and not about the nodes in a cluster) in order to decide if the document should be written at all (before it is actually indexed) See http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html#master-election and http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-consistency Does that make sense, is this more clear now? --Alex On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 11:19 PM, Mohit Anchlia <mohitanch...@gmail.com>wrote: > How does minimum_master_nodes differ from action.write_consistency?
