Does anyone know if it is possible to get a tribe-node to _not_ go dark if a configured child-cluster goes offline? We would like to use it to provide federated search across multiple clusters (in different data centers) - but as it is now the tribe node will not return _anything_ if one of the configured clusters is unavailable. A search would of course not include any results from an unavailable cluster, but an option to forward the search to the still available clusters would make the tribe node an alternative for multi-site federated search. Right now we can't affort to lose _all_ search if one location does not answer. Regards, Espen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
