It's really left up to you to decide.
Options are;
- Load balancer like HAProxy, nginx
- Multi entry DNS record (ie roundrobin)
- Having a client join the cluster for inserts
There may be more others can suggest.

I have a nice, performant cluster of 5 nodes. They're all on separate

Do I tell the consumers of my Elasticsearch cluster to hit any of the five
nodes as suits their fancy? Or do I give them the name of ONE node? If so,
is that node configured any differently?Or do I put all five behind a virtual IP and load balance them?
I can't find any documentation on best practices here.
Thoughts?
