Jason Tedor 7066ec44ca Add recommendation on unicast hosts to docs
This commit adds a small note to the discovery docs to include a note
that we recommend that the unicast hosts list be maintained as the list
of master-eligible nodes in the cluster.

Jason Tedor b7995fbc0d Fix default port for unicast zen ping hosts
Today when you do not specify a port for an entry in
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts, the default port is the value of the
setting transport.profiles.default.port and falls back to the value of
transport.tcp.port if this is not set. For a node that is explicitly
bound to a different port than the default port, this means that the
default port will be equal to this explicitly bound port. Yet, the docs
say that we fall back to 9300 here. This commit corrects the docs.

Jason Tedor 9dc65037bc Lazy resolve unicast hosts
Today we eagerly resolve unicast hosts. This means that if DNS changes,
we will never find the host at the new address. Moreover, a single host
failng to resolve causes startup to abort. This commit introduces lazy
resolution of unicast hosts. If a DNS entry changes, there is an
opportunity for the host to be discovered. Note that under the Java
security manager, there is a default positive cache of infinity for
resolved hosts; this means that if a user does want to operate in an
environment where DNS can change, they must adjust
networkaddress.cache.ttl in their security policy. And if a host fails
to resolve, we warn log the hostname but continue pinging other
configured hosts.

When doing DNS resolutions for unicast hostnames, we wait until the DNS
lookups timeout. This appears to be forty-five seconds on modern JVMs,
and it is not configurable. If we do these serially, the cluster can be
blocked during ping for a lengthy period of time. This commit introduces
doing the DNS lookups in parallel, and adds a user-configurable timeout
for these lookups.

David Pilato 527a9c7f48 Deprecate discovery-azure and rename it to discovery-azure-classic
As discussed at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/issues/91#issuecomment-229113595, we know that the current `discovery-azure` plugin only works with Azure Classic VMs / Services (which is somehow Legacy now).

The proposal here is to rename `discovery-azure` to `discovery-azure-classic` in case some users are using it.
And deprecate it for 5.0.

Closes #19144.

Boaz Leskes 6dd164d0bd Include pings from client nodes in master election
We currently have a `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_client` setting that control whether their ping responses are ignored for master election (which is the current default). With the push to treat client nodes as normal nodes (and promote the transport/rest clients for client work), this should be changed. This commit remove this setting and it's companion `discovery.zen.master_election.filter_data` setting (currently defaulting to  false) in favor of singe `discovery.zen.master_election.ignore_non_master_pings` setting with more intuitive name (defaulting to false).

    Handle node mode across entire test cluster

    We used static methods reading sys properties to define the node mode
    per cluster. this had lots of problems when tests couldn't cope with
    mixed or only local mode. Now we are passing it down to the cluster from the test
    which allows to @SuppressNetworkMode / @SupressLocalMode on the test to force
    consistent node configurations.

2015-08-20 14:26:40 -04:00
Robert Muir 68307aa9f3 Fix network binding for ipv4/ipv6
When elasticsearch is configured by interface (or default: loopback interfaces),
bind to all addresses on the interface rather than an arbitrary one.

If the publish address is not specified, default it from the bound addresses
based on the following sort ordering:

* ipv4/ipv6 (java.net.preferIPv4Stack, defaults to true)
* ordinary addresses
* site-local addresses
* link local addresses
* loopback addresses

One one address is published, and multicast is still always over ipv4: these
need to be future improvements.

Boaz Leskes 1e35bf3171 Discovery: wait on incoming joins before electing local node as master
During master election each node pings in order to discover other nodes and validate the liveness of existing nodes. Based on this information the node either discovers an existing master or, if enough nodes are found (based on `discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes>>) a new master will be elected.

Currently, the node that is elected as master will currently update it the cluster state to indicate the result of the election. Other nodes will submit a join request to the newly elected master node. Instead of immediately processing the election result, the elected master
node should wait for the incoming joins from other nodes, thus validating the elections result is properly applied. As soon as enough nodes have sent their joins request (based on the `minimum_master_nodes` settings) the cluster state is modified.

Note that if `minimum_master_nodes` is not set, this change has no effect.

Shay Banon 2330421816 Wait till node is part of cluster state for join process
When a node sends a join request to the master, only send back the response after it has been added to the master cluster state and published.
This will fix the rare cases where today, a join request can return, and the master, since its under load, have not yet added the node to its cluster state, and the node that joined will start a fault detect against the master, failing since its not part of the cluster state.
Since now the join request is longer, also increase the join request timeout default.

Introduce a dedicated join.timeout setting, that by default is 10x the ping.timeout (so 30s by default).
