In 2.x, there was a "[client node](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/modules-node.html#client-node)" but it was often confused with a "[node client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/2.0/node-client.html)." Naming is hard 🙂

As a result, in 5.x, you'll see the us generally referring to the "dedicated coordinating node" to refer to what you're talking about. You can find how to configure a node as such at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/modules-node.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/modules-node.html). Once you have that, just set them in your `hosts` config in Logstash and you should be good to go.
