Is it okay to remove the config directory, when it comes to cluster setup?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello there!

We have setup elasticsearch using ansible using the archive (.tgz) file.

The setup goes like this,

/opt/elastic/application/elasticsearch-5.2.2/node1/ - Master node
/opt/elastic/application/elasticsearch-5.2.2/node2/ - Data node

Under these locations, we have files, directories like below,

elasticsearch.yml
instances.yml
jvm.options
log4j2.properties
scripts/
security/
x-pack/

Under this location, /opt/elastic/application/elasticsearch-5.2.2/, we have the below files, directories,

bin/
config/
data/
lib/
LICENSE.txt
modules/
node1/
node2/
NOTICE.txt
plugins/
README.textile
run/

Is this the right approach to have the setup this way? Wouldn't the cluster work properly, if we place config files, directories (elasticsearch.yml, instances.yml, jvm.options, log4j2.properties) under config/ directory for each node1/ and node2/?

P.S: if this okay, what would be ES_HOME then?

Thanks,

Vijay
