Fix cluster health when closing #61709

Conversation

When master shuts down it's cluster service, a waiting health request
would fail rather than fail over to a new master.

Fails around once every month in CI:

For instance:
https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/r2rocz2i6tah2

Change looks good. One question on the test

boolean withIndex = randomBoolean();
if (withIndex) {
// create index with many shards to provoke the health request to wait (for green) while master is being shut down.
createIndex("test", Settings.builder().put(IndexMetadata.SETTING_NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS, randomIntBetween(0, 10)).build());

I'm confused. How can the cluster ever be green with that many replicas? Should this be number_of_shards?

It ensures that the cluster is yellow when the health request is made, making the health request wait on the observer, triggering the call to onClusterServiceClose when master is shutdown.

The number of replicas is cleared to 0 after having fired all the async restarts and done the master restarts. That ensures that all the requests responds with green status.
