Hello, In our roadmap for 5.8, we have this:
Removal of class definitions from master nodes > The integration of a "master node" needs to be simplified, both in terms > of user configuration and implementation. We plan to not need user classes > (entities) on such a node, so that in future it could be a separate > download which works out of the box with minimal configuration. I guess what you are doing, Sanne, about replacing Class<?> references with an internal binding representation, is part of that, but there doesn't seem to be any trace of those efforts in JIRA. Is there a ticket about this? I don't think there is one with a 5.8 "Fix version", but maybe somewhere else... ? On a side note, there may be hidden complexity in having mapping-independent master nodes: we can probably use a generic representation of documents for document additions/updates, but with Elasticsearch, and probably very soon also with Lucene 7, we need to initialize indexes with a schema. So at least one node needs both write access to the indexes *and* knowledge of the mapping... Which mapping-independent master nodes would prevent.
