I tried writing to my local version es and it works fine, but when connecting to a remote host, no document is written to the index. Although the index was automatically created. What could be wrong? `EsSpark.saveToEs(userTweetRDD, "twitter/test", Map("es.nodes" -> "xx.xx.xx.xxx", "es.cluster.name" -> xxxx-xxxxx"))` Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance... ---

Was able to solve by setting this: `"es.nodes.discovery" -> "false"` Hope this helps someone ---
