Hi, I'm trying to fix issue [32721](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/32721). Is there any way to run a cluster with two nodes from Gradle run task? Thank you, Chris ---

There is not a way to do that with Gradle `run` (with the run task, we execute elasticsearch in the foreground, so only 1 node can exist). ---
