You can try what I do. If it is important question or urgent, I post the same question in here and on Reddit [https://www.reddit.com/r/elasticsearch](https://www.reddit.com/r/elasticsearch) It helps getting answers from multiple sources cause helps with the understanding part of it. Everyone don't explain things in the best way. ---

It's a lot easier if you please create a single thread for your questions in future 🙂 See [Elasticsearch Cross Cluster Search Implementation](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-cross-cluster-search-implementation/259708/14), as you have a solution for this there. ---
