The client has addTransportAddress(). So, I can add all cluster nodes. Is it intended way? Or - what are those considerations must be taken into account while adding hosts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You should as many nodes as possible. If you enable client.transport.sniff, then the transport client will ask the nodes it does connect to about the other nodes in the cluster, which means you can potentially only need to specific a single node (not ideal in case that node is down). -- Ivan On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 8:36 AM, Andrew Gaydenko [andrew.gaydenko@gmail.com](mailto:andrew.gaydenko@gmail.com) wrote: > The client has addTransportAddress().
