Given that you can use tribe nodes, will the search latency acceptable when one ES node has to go to 10+ ES instances separated geographically to get data?

Do you need to search data from 10+ nodes in real time? If not I still prefer using something to slowly ship data from 10+ nodes to a central ES node where we can do whatever we want at high speed. It would be easier than having to maintain separate ES nodes.
