1. Newbie question, but when I use an elastic search client (java client), do I put the elasticsearch.yml file in my /resources i.e classpath? I ran my java app w/o the .yml file and it worked fine when I indexed to ES, I guess by default it connects to the default ES port? 1. What I don't understand, when creating a client, why is there even an option to have this client be part of the cluster? I mean you are creating a client using the nodeBuilder, what is the reason for this? My guess is the code is re-used so you don't have to repeat things internally?

1/ yes. If you have an elasticsearch.yml file in your classpath under /, it will be used. Otherwise, defaults are used. 2/ A NodeClient knows where all shards live. It means that it will route directly your requests to the right nodes.

For "2/" : let's suppose I have a cluster with next arhitecture : non-data node, primary node and data nodes and I want to insert documents with java api. Which is the node which should be set for transportClient in addTransportAddress? The primary, the data or the balancing(non-data) node? What's happen if the set node is failing? Shouln't we add another one for managing the failling? luni, 16 iunie 2014, 08:08:11 UTC+3, David Pilato a scris: > 1/ yes.

You should define more than one node in the transport list but you can also set client.transport.sniff to true to sniff other nodes. If you define in your cluster a load balancing only node (no data), you probably should define it (or them) in the transport list of nodes. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 16 juin 2014 à 10:48:46, Ciprian ([turcanciprian87@gmail.com](mailto:turcanciprian87@gmail.com)) a écrit: For "2/" : let's suppose I have a cluster with next arhitecture : non-data node, primary node and data nodes and I want to insert documents with java api.
