Thanks for the reply! I got the idea from the following posts:

1. [Correct usage of Coordinating role node](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/correct-usage-of-coordinating-role-node/109988/2) (in [Christian\_Dahlqvist](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/Christian_Dahlqvist)'s 2nd reply)
2. [When to use Coordinating vs Data Node](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/when-to-use-coordinating-vs-data-node/134125)

There were some other posts which I can't find at the moment, but I'll look it up later.
