ElasticSearch Java API:NoNodeAvailableException: No node available

Question

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()
            .put("cluster.name", "foxzen")
            .put("node.name", "yu").build();
    Client client = new TransportClient(settings)
            .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", 9200));
            // XXX is my server's ip address
    IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet")
            .setSource(XContentFactory.jsonBuilder()
                    .startObject()
                    .field("productId", "1")
                    .field("productName", "XXX").endObject()).execute().actionGet();
    System.out.println(response.getIndex());
    System.out.println(response.getType());
    System.out.println(response.getVersion());
    client.close();
}

I access server from my computer

curl -get http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9200/

get this

{
    "status" : 200,
    "name" : "yu",
    "version" : {
        "number" : "1.1.0",
        "build_hash" : "2181e113dea80b4a9e31e58e9686658a2d46e363",
        "build_timestamp" : "2014-03-25T15:59:51Z",
        "build_snapshot" : false,
        "lucene_version" : "4.7"
    },
    "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Why get error by using Java API?

EDIT

There is the cluster and node part config of elasticsearch.yml

################################### Cluster ###################################

# Cluster name identifies your cluster for auto-discovery. If you're running
# multiple clusters on the same network, make sure you're using unique names.
#
cluster.name: foxzen


#################################### Node #####################################

# Node names are generated dynamically on startup, so you're relieved
# from configuring them manually. You can tie this node to a specific name:
#
node.name: yu

Answer 1

Some suggestions:

1 - Use port 9300. [9300-9400] is for node-to-node communication, [9200-9300] is for HTTP traffic.

2 - Ensure the version of the Java API you are using matches the version of elasticsearch running on the server.

3 - Ensure that the name of your cluster is foxzen (check the elasticsearch.yml on the server).

4 - Remove put("node.name", "yu"), you aren't joining the cluster as a node since you are using the TransportClient, and even if you were it appears your server node is named yu so you would want a different node name in any case.

Answer 2

You need to change your code to use port 9300 - correct line would be:

 Client client = new TransportClient(settings)
            .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", 9300));

The reason is that the Java API is using the internal transport used for inter node communications and it defaults to port 9300. Port 9200 is the default for the REST API interface. Common issue to run into - check this sample code here towards the bottom of the page, under Transport Client:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/client.html

// on startup

Client client = new TransportClient()
        .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("host1", 9300))
        .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("host2", 9300));

// on shutdown

client.close();

Answer 3

I met this error too. I use ElasticSearch 2.4.1 as a standalone server (single node) in docker, programming with Grails 3/spring-data-elasticsearch. My fix is setting client.transport.sniff to false. Here is my core conf :

application.yml

spring.data.elasticsearch:
    cluster-name: "my-es"
    cluster-nodes: "localhost:9300"
    properties:
        "client.transport.ignore_cluster_name": true
        "client.transport.nodes_sampler_interval": "5s"
        "client.transport.ping_timeout": "5s"
        "client.transport.sniff": false      # XXX : notice here
    repositories.enabled: false

Answer 4

I assume that you are setting the ES server on a remote host? In that case you will need to bind the publish address to the host's public IP address.

In your ES host edit /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml and add its public IP after network.publish_host:

# Set the address other nodes will use to communicate with this node. If not
# set, it is automatically derived. It must point to an actual IP address.
#
network.publish_host: 192.168.0.1

And in your code connect to this host on port 9300. Note that you need the IP and not the domain name (at least according to my experience on Amazon EC2)

Answer 5

If you are still having issues, even when using port 9300, and everything else seems to be configured correctly, try using an older version of elasticsearch.

I was getting this same error while using elasticsearch version 2.2.0, but as soon as I rolled back to version 1.7.5, my problem magically went away. Here's a link to someone else having this issue : older version solves problem

Answer 6

For folks with similar problems, I received this because I had not set cluster.name in the TransportClient builder. Added the property and everything worked.

Answer 7

Other reason could be, your Elasticsearch Java client is a different version from your Elasticsearch server.

Elasticsearch Java client version is nothing but your elasticsearch jar version in your code base.

For example: In my code it's elasticsearch-2.4.0.jar

To verify Elasticsearch server version,

$ /Users/kkolipaka/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -version
Version: 5.2.2, Build: f9d9b74/2017-02-24T17:26:45.835Z, JVM: 1.8.0_111

As you can see, I've downloaded latest version of Elastic server 5.2.2 but forgot to update the ES Java API client version 2.4.0 https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/client.html

Another solution may be to include io.netty.netty-all into project dependencies explicitly.

On addTransportAddresses a method nodesSampler.sample() is being executed, and added addresses are being checked for availability there. In my case try-catch block swallows ConnectTransportException because a method io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelId.newInstance() cannot be found. So added node just isn't treated as available.
