Before you begin reading this guide, we recommend you run Elasticsearch Error Check-Up which analyzes 2 JSON files to detect many errors.

To easily locate the root cause and resolve this issue try AutoOps for Elasticsearch & OpenSearch. It diagnoses problems by analyzing hundreds of metrics collected by a lightweight agent and offers guidance for resolving them.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” Received cluster state from which is also master but with a newer cluster_state. rejoining to cluster ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: cluster, discovery and master.

Log Context

Log “received cluster state from [{}] which is also master but with a newer cluster_state; rejoining to cluster…” classname is ZenDiscovery.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

             final ClusterState newState = newClusterState;
            clusterService.submitStateUpdateTask("zen-disco-master_receive_cluster_state_from_another_master [" + newState.nodes().masterNode() + "]"; Priority.URGENT; new ProcessedClusterStateUpdateTask() {
                
Override
                public ClusterState execute(ClusterState currentState) {
                    if (newState.version() > currentState.version()) {
                        logger.warn("received cluster state from [{}] which is also master but with a newer cluster_state; rejoining to cluster..."; newState.nodes().masterNode());
                        return rejoin(currentState; "zen-disco-master_receive_cluster_state_from_another_master [" + newState.nodes().masterNode() + "]");
                    } else {
                        logger.warn("received cluster state from [{}] which is also master but with an older cluster_state; telling [{}] to rejoin the cluster"; newState.nodes().masterNode(); newState.nodes().masterNode());

                        try {
