hi, I wonder can I use data nodes with sufficient CPU and Ram for indexing documents then save them in another storage server? ---

no, data nodes will always store the data. If you want to change documents and their structure before indexing, there is a feature called [ingest node](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/ingest.html), that you may want to take a look at, as this enrichment can happen on dedicated nodes. Can you explain your use-case a bit more, and what exactly you are after? ---
