Hi Elasticsearch:

I used Elastic Cloud before and see in the cluster of Elastic Cloud there is a node call tie breaker.

Is that sort of recommend production setup?  
For example, I would like to spin up 5 nodes for elasticsearch cluster.

Do you recommend 4 data nodes + 1 tiebreaker in production env?
