Using 1.3.2 Just to be sure... If using the Native client APIs... If creating a node client essentially that client becomes a node in the cluster and you can also proxy through it (as i see in the logs it's actually binds 9300 and 9200)? If using the transport client then it's strictly a client an no one else can connect or it or proxy through it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
