Log Context
Log “no longer master” class name is SnapshotsService.java. We extracted the following from OpenSearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
// We have snapshot listeners but are not the master any more. Fail all waiting listeners except for those that already
// have their snapshots finalizing (those that are already finalizing will fail on their own from to update the cluster
// state).
for (Snapshot snapshot : new HashSet<>(snapshotCompletionListeners.keySet())) {
if (endingSnapshots.add(snapshot)) {
failSnapshotCompletionListeners(snapshot; new SnapshotException(snapshot; "no longer master"));
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
assert false : new AssertionError(e);
