Hi,  
Have a read here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html)

You can easily set the setting in the above link to match up with the architecture you are looking for.

EDIT: I would not suggest one master and 5 data nodes. But in any case the doc above has the settings you need...

I'd keep all defaults there.
