Hello,

I'm about to configure my connection to Elasticsearch using ODBC. One of the fields to fill is related to host address. My cluster currently consists of 3 hosts. Is there a way to setup all of them in the hosts list to make sure ODBC will be able to connect in case te one i points in the configuration will be down? i tried setting IP's and separating them using comma etc but no luck so far.  
Thanks.

Hello @saif3r,  
No, this functionality is not available, the driver expects and will connect to one host only. Feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-sql-odbc/issues) for it.  
You might be able use a front-end proxy to achieve this for now, though.
