Hi there,

I started to use a tribe node with two 2 es 1.7.5 clusters.  
According to the [doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/modules-tribe.html), "master level write operations" are not allowed on tribe nodes.  
Though it is not clear to me what operations it includes : Put mapping? Delete index? Add Alias? Remove Alias?

Thanks,

Jean

Hi @jeancornic,

master level write operations are those that affect / change the whole cluster state and can thus only be applied by the master node. No guarantee that I got all relevant operations but this list should give you an idea:

- Indices: create, delete, open, close, update index settings, shrink index
- Index templates: create, delete
- Aliases: create, delete
- Mappings: create
- Store scripts: Create, delete
- Snapshots: create, delete, restore
- Repositories: Create / unregistering

With 2.x also:

- Ingest Pipelines: create, delete

Thanks @danielmitterdorfer, I appreciate the help!  
Your list is complete enough for me right now.

Cheers,

Jean
