If I run a cluster of ElasticSearch nodes, can I connect to any node
in order to issue a query? How should I deal with failover if that
node is down - move onto the next one in the node list?

Yes, you can issue a query to any node, and it will execute it, if a node
fails, you can move to the next node. The cluster state API returns for all
the nodes the addresses it exposes, so you can build dynamic round robin /
failover (thats what the perl client does).

Right, though have to find a healthy node first to issue the cluster
health
query against.

Yes, though you can create a list of all the nodes when things are good, so
you know who to fall over to.
