I followed this article to configure certain nodes in my cluster as data nodes.
I then ran this API call GET /_all/_search on the data node and was able to receive a response.
So wanted to check if this result is an expected behaviour or not. I was under the impression that the query to a data node can only be performed by a master/coordinating-node and not by an external client.
