Hi all --

I have a 4-node cluster and I am trying to have several remote node clients  
join the cluster to perform some ETL in parallel. I have disabled multicast  
since my cloud provider blocks it, and I am configuring the client as shown  
below (Scala) to hold no data and be a remote client. The connection goes  
through successfully, but it seems like the client does not join the target  
cluster -- despite the apparently successful connection, the query fails  
stating the index does not exist. I have checked that the query works  
correctly using the transport client -- only having throuble with node  
connections, which I really need since I'm trying to reach maximum  
throughput for reindexing operations.

val props = new Properties()  
props.setProperty("discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled", "false")  
props.setProperty("cluster.name", "mycluster")  
props.setProperty("node.client", "true")  
props.setProperty("node.data", "false")  
props.setProperty("node.local", "false")  
props.setProperty("gateway.type", "none")  
props.setProperty("discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts",  
"""node05,node06,node07,node08""")  
val settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put(props).build()  
val node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).build()  
val esClient = node.client  
val out =  
esClient.prepareSearch("myindex").setTypes("mydoctype").setSource("""{"query":{"match\_all":{}}}""").execute.actionGet

Many thanks in advance.
