Hello,

We have 10 data nodes and 1 master node and we have 20,000 lines  
of logs/sec (peek).  
Now we send our logs through our program by using BI(Bulk Insert) to 1  
master node.

I'm wondering if I could BI to other node(data or master), because we will  
add more logs.

Or should I add more master nodes and BI to those  
master nodes ?

Sincerely,  
Nobuo Miwa

You should spin up a client node (master and data: false) and use it. That  
way you prevent your master from OOMing.  
Otherwise you can use any of your data nodes.
