I am using the Nest client to monitor my cluster. One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to determine if a given master-eligible node is the elected master. I am running this code on the physical VM where Elasticsearch is running:

```auto
// Set up filter for current node
NodeIds nodeIds = new NodeIds(new List<string> { this.IpAddress });
NodesStatsRequest nodeRequest = new NodesStatsRequest(nodeIds);

// Query for the current node's stats
INodesStatsResponse nodeStats = await this.Client.NodesStatsAsync(nodeRequest, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);

```

I can get all the information I want for logging from nodeStats, with the exception of being able to tell if the node is the elected master. If I curl (contrived example as I am debugging this locally with three instances running. In production, we have 40 separate VMs):

```auto
_cat/nodes?v&s=name

ip heap.percent ram.percent cpu load_1m load_5m load_15m node.role master name
127.0.0.1 29 93 74 di - data-1
127.0.0.1 34 93 69 di - data-2
127.0.0.1 23 93 69 mi * master-1

```

The "\*" under "master" identifies that it is elected. How can I get this via Nest?

Thanks!
