Discovery.seed_hosts

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi there,
just a quick one: In discovery.seed_hosts do I only mnetion / list the master nodes?
coming from the old zen right now in production I do have listed all the nodes where an elasticsearch deamon is runnig. So here I have also all my dedicated data nodes, my dedicated ingest nodes, my dedicated client nodes and last but not least my 3 dedicated master nodes.
I have the feeling this is not that correct.
What do you think?
Thanks!
Stefano

Yes, just the master-eligible nodes. It's not too bad if you add some more, it's just unnecessary since Elasticsearch has to do some work to determine that they're not the addresses of the master-eligible nodes.

(I think that was also true in older versions as well)
