Hello, For various (mostly political) reasons it looks like we will have to run our ES nodes (currently just one) inside a dedicated Tomcat instance using Transport-Wares NodeServlet. I have an opportunity for making a case for standard ES deployment (as it comes with embedded netty) is there anything in your experience including performance that will be negatively affected by running it as tomcat servlet?
