Currently, I'm running ELK-Stack: 7.10 cluster  
On my cluster-nodes, I see " **cdhilmrstw**" as node roles  
Can anyone please explain/denote what these individual node abbreviations stands for?

These abbreviations are described under `node.role` in the [cat nodes API docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-nodes.html).
