Thanks James's sharing. Does your client node has same performance (CPU memory) as data node or lower perf? On Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 12:25:58 AM UTC+8, James Macdonald wrote: If it is good enough for you, it is good enough for you. I will just give you one anecdote: We implemented 3

Dedicated master nodes are super convenient if you have the it infrastructure to host them on shared machines because they are very low load and its useful to be able to restart the master nodes quickly. We don't have that kind of infrastructure and our cluster is pretty large and not having it

Right now we only need 4 ES nodes due to the small data volume, and all 4 nodes are master data nodes. Q1: I am wondering in this case, is it necessary to have dedicated master and client node? Any benefit of having dedicated master node? Some one said that dedicated master nodes (say, three
