Hi, Here's my setup: 2 - coordinating nodes (esnode1,esnode2) 3 - master/data node (esnode3,esnode4,esnode5) 1 - data node (esnode6) should i configure logstash to hosts=\> esnode1, esnode2 only ? or should i send logstash to hosts=\> esnode3,esnode4,esnode5 ? will the load/traffic be spread/load balanced across the nodes and not only to the 1st node in the list? if i have 10 servers, can i set all 8 of them as all master/data and 2 as coordinating nodes? i'd appreciate any tip/advise. thanks. sirjune ---
