Hi

I want to create coordinating only nodes on my ES cluster.

How do I configure client only nodes? For example, in my data nodes, I do this:

```auto
      config:
        node.master: false
        node.data: true
        node.ingest: true
        node.store.allow_mmap: false

```

I tried doing the following:

```auto
      config:
        node.master: false
        node.data: false
        node.ingest: false
        node.store.allow_mmap: false

```

When I look at my node, it only has an "l" setting. Shouldn't it be a "-"?

Am I missing something?
