Hey there - So in the same cluster we have indices with pipelines and without pipelines. A dedicated ingest node with the ingest capabilities disabled otherwise. We're still finetuning the performance on this and wanted to know whether the index requests that don't require any pipeline processing still go to index node. Thanks! Eva ---

> whether the index requests that don't require any pipeline processing still go to index node. I assume you meant ingest node? If that is the case, then no, if there is no pipeline specified on an indexing request, it will not be forwarded to an ingest node. ---
