I start elasticsearch is not how much.

I want below. Is there any way?

1. From the index server initial indexes(static) only.
2. Indexes are moved to a search server.
3. elasticsearch start in search server
4. From the index server additional indexes(dynamic)
5. Indexes are added to a search server without restart

\*\* Only search server(total #5) --\> node.master: false, node.data : false in elasticsearch.yml  
\*\* Only index server(total #10) --\> node.master: false, node.data : true in elasticsearch.yml

thank you!!

I don't think I fully understand your concern and why do you want to do that.  
Do you think you need to separate Index Server and Search Server?

IMHO, you don't have to think about it. Let Elasticsearch do the balancing job.  
So, can you send more details on what you are trying to achieve?

## Cheers
