I'm wondering if elasticsearch can support a hierarchy of tribe nodes. For  
example, let's say we have a tribe node (A) connected to a set of 5  
clusters, and then a tribe node (B) connected to a set of 3 clusters. Can  
we create a super tribe node (C) that connects to just tribe nodes A & B  
for access to data across all clusters? Or does tribe node C need to  
connect to each of the clusters individually?

Thanks in advance!  
Andre

AFAIK, hierarchical tribe is not supported.

I have a ticket open with Elastic requesting this.
