Design question

Is there any advantage of keeping Master Node separate from Data Node? I
can't think of a possible reason why one would want to keep them separate.

Hey,

stability can be one of the reasons. As your data nodes can go out of
memory if you fire up certain queries, you do not want the cluster
stability impacted by this. A strategy to circumvent this problem is to
have a couple of data and master only nodes.

Hope this helps,

But if there are issues with data nodes that would impact the user requests
anyways, correct?

I guess you mean "data node" and "non data node"?

A shard of an index is replicated across the data nodes (you can config the
number of replicas). In case of some data node failure, your user would not
be impacted as long there is one replica available,

Do you mean physically separated in the LAN or WAN/VPN or not running data
node service on a master?

I mean not running master + data on the same node and keeping them separate.

We've found keeping them separate ( different servers /instances ) evens
out CPU usage ... The master node would get starved of CPU and drag down
the whole cluster performance ( and sometimes affected cluster health) .
not sure how would this work with multiple nodes with different settings on
the same box...
