Only send requests directly to data notes and not master nodes?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

We have a 9 node cluster, 3 masters, 6 data. We've been using the java
transport client, which connects to all 3 masters. Occassionaly the masters
become unresponsive and needs to restart.

Should the transport clients connect to the 6 data nodes directly instead?

Thanks.

Depends, sounds like you need a few client nodes if you are OOMing your
masters (which, is a bad thing to happen to masters).

We give the master nodes 5gb of memory -- stats are showing low cpu &
memory utilization. Would you still recommend the client only node? If so,
how many & powerful?

It depends on your use, but try adding one client in with 8GB heap and see
how you go.

Would all transport clients only connect to this client node? Right now we
have them connecting to all 3 master node.

Again, it's up to you. I'd suggest yes and let the masters manage the
cluster. You may need more client nodes though.
