Hi

I have written a custom plugin in ES 7.5.2.  
**My problem is, when calling the plugin, it only looks in the local shards, and not in shards on other nodes.**  
This means I have to have all shards on every node, to make it work.  
My instinct tells me, this should not be necessary, but I cant seem to find any setting or likewise, to tell the plugin, to look in other nodes for the missing shards.

Hope someone can help 🙂

Jens
