In your case, you should send the data to the data node.

However, having two dedicated master nodes does not make sense, as there is no quorum for you to set the `minimum_master_nodes` to, you should consider adding a third dedicated master node so you can have quorum (and can set `minimum_master_nodes` to 2).

Additionally, having dedicated master nodes for a single-data-node cluster is definitely overkill, you could probably remove the use of dedicated master nodes in this case.
