Hi,
I am trying the \_cat api and I have a question about the output for this
request:
curl "[http://192.168.1.100:9200/\_cat/nodes?h=name,master,role](http://192.168.1.100:9200/_cat/nodes?h=name,master,role)"
The output for this request is:
Laptop-client - -
jc-pi-wit \* d
jc-pi-glas m d
jc-pi-red m d
I was expecting a c for the laptop client, this is configured as master:
false and data: false
The help for role gives:
node.role | r,role,dc,nodeRole | d:data node,
c:client node
Thanks, Jettro

When specifying node.client: true I do get the c as expected.
