I am asked to setup elastic search cluster for about 100 TB of text Data!  
I already know how to do searches and aggs in elastic, but I really don't know how to setup cluster with more than one node for such big data!  
I mean how many masters do I need? or Do I need to have one dedicate server for activeMQ? ...  
What are different roles servers in cluster have?  
Is there any document explaining that?  
I want to know how many servers do I need for each specific role.
