Hi, There is an excellent question asked about two years ago that was never properly answered: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/dxjpMd4vNXQ I have the exact same question. I've got a cluster with a lot of data nodes plus two nodes that act as master + client nodes (no data)…

Hardware requirements for client and master-only nodes

Hi Please can you answer what is the memory and cpu requirement for client nodes and what is the JVM size for client node?

Suppose I am having 64 GB of RAM and 4 logical CPU. Should i reserve 32 GBV for JVM on clinet ndoe and rest for the lucense use it?
