一共有4个节点的cluster，其中es4 是master，某个时间突然es1脱离了整个cluster，调查过程如下：
[es@bigdata1 logs]$ date; ssh bd4 date
2012年09月03日 星期一09:41:26 CST
2012年09月03日 星期一09:41:00 CST
es4比es1慢26秒，以下日志时间修改为es1的时间
在es4的日志中：
写道
[2012-09-01 04:43:52,174][INFO ][cluster.service ] [es4] removed {[es1][VMFIvWAhRQuYoCcPIeedIQ][inet[/192.168.2.11:9300]],}, reason: zen-disco-node_failed([es1][VMFIvWAhRQuYoCcPIeedIQ][inet[/192.168.2.11:9300]]), reason failed to ping, tried [3] times, each with maximum [30s] timeout
这个时候，es4已经重试了3次，每次30s，也就是说90s以前，es1就已经出问题了，也就是42.22秒的时候。这个时间段es1发生了什么？

这期间，发生了 5.9s、5.8s、8.9s、1.4m的gc动作，特别是最后一个gc，长达1.4分钟，接近90s了。感觉应该正是这个gc导致es1无响应，从而从cluster当中被踢出去了。
很有意思的是，es1发现master es4不在了，它重新选举es3做为master，但是紧接着es3也失效了，日志如下：
写道

我们看一下es3当时发生了什么事情：
[es@bigdata1 logs]$ date; ssh bd3 date
2012年09月03日 星期一09:51:14 CST
2012年09月03日 星期一09:51:11 CST
它们只差3秒，es3的日志如下：
写道

org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [es2][inet[/192.168.2.12:9300]][indices/status/s]
奇怪，04:44:06左右，es3啥都没发生，感觉就是es3没理睬es1，因此es1只好又抛弃es3，把自己组建成独立的master。
现象找到了，该怎么解决了。两个思路：
1.把gc的时间尽量再压缩，哪怕多进行几次gc，每次时间不要太长
2.修改zen的配置，把fault detection的timeout时间和retry times都增加。
第一步比较麻烦，还是第二步比较简单，先把retries修改为6试试看。
