How to install **client** is not clear from helm chart documentation  
And how to install client, master, and data separately?  
in the templates folder, there is statefulset.yaml file which is not required for the **Client** to have.

Please help me in pointers to install master, client, and data separately using helm chart from above repo.

Hi @Vivek_Pemawat,  
The [multi](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch/examples/multi) example should help you.

You can install different releases of the Elasticsearch chart with different values like [master.yml](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/elasticsearch/examples/multi/master.yml) and [data.yml](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/elasticsearch/examples/multi/data.yml) as described in the [Makefile](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/elasticsearch/examples/multi/master.yml):

```auto
helm install --name es-master --values ./master.yml elastic/elasticsearch
helm install --name es-data --values ./data.yml elastic/elasticsearch

```

As for the client nodes, if you only want them to handle [coordination](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html#coordinating-node), I guess you can create a `client.yml` value file with `node.master` , `node.data` and `node.ingest` set to `false`.

Just to add to that, you can disable persistence (the data volume) by setting `persistence.enabled: false` which you can see in the [client.yml](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/5d10a879a07d42135e28b2dc8ec902ef8adb2280/elasticsearch/examples/migration/client.yml#L22-L23) from the migration example.
