We are starting to use a tribe node with ES 2.4.2 but there are several settings that we are unclear about. In the documentation they give the following example: tribe: t1: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): cluster\_one t2: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): cluster\_two Further down it says "When there is a conflict and multiple clusters...configured using the tribe.on\_conflict setting. It defaults to any, but can be set to drop (drop indices that have a conflict), or prefer\_[tribeName] to prefer the index from a specific tribe." My question is two fold: (1) In the example above, what would the tribeName be? Would it be prefer\_t1 or prefer\_cluster\_one ? (2) Additionally, should the [cluster.name](http://cluster.name) in the tribe node's elasticsearch.yml match the cluster\_names in the two separate clusters? (That is, if you curl the first cluster, the cluster\_name would actually be "cluster\_one") Thank you for your time. ---
