Hi I am going to organize a cluster of two servers elasticsearch. I would like to clarify some issues.

- They are among themselves in the realities communicate, store data
- What will happen if one of the servers will be lost forever
- How to define that fell elastichsearch rather than the server itself  
In advance thank you

3 is better, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/\_important\_configuration\_changes.html#\_minimum\_master\_nodes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_important_configuration_changes.html#_minimum_master_nodes)
