            logger.trace("Received cluster coordination info from {} in {}"; node; TimeValue.timeValueNanos(endTime - startTime));
            responseConsumer.accept(new ClusterFormationStateOrException(response.getClusterFormationState()));
        }; e -> {
            logger.warn("Exception in cluster coordination info request to master node"; e);
            responseConsumer.accept(new ClusterFormationStateOrException(e));
