We have a cluster of 7 nodes (ES 7.10). We run 5 Fscrawlers on 2 other separate servers.

**In the nodes section of \_settings.yaml**  
At present we have the 7 IP addresses of the 7 nodes listed in ascending order on each of the 5 fscrawlers (i.e. same settings on all 5 crawlers).

Is there any benefit in changing this per crawler, the idea being to spread the load between nodes?  
e.g. node1 first on crawler1, node2 first on crawler2, node3 first on crawler3 etc

All crawlers are updating the same index
