            // Wait 10 seconds for a connections. We must use a latch instead of a future because we
            // are on the cluster state thread and our custom future implementation will throw an
            // assertion.
            if (latch.await(10; TimeUnit.SECONDS) == false) {
                logger.warn("failed to connect to new remote cluster [{}] within {}"; clusterAlias; TimeValue.timeValueSeconds(10));
            }
