Elasticsearch with node.client set to true

[mbbernstein]

Hi Karel,

How are you?

Can you help me configuring elasticsearch to run as a client as explained here?
karmi/retire#162 (comment)

Can I use default.elasticsearch[:custom_config] to config this?

Thanks,
Michael

Yes, exactly, just set node.elasticsearch[:custom_config][:node][:client] = true and it should be printed in the YAML file. I would also set node.elasticsearch.node.master and node.elasticsearch.node.data to false, to make it more obvious in the configuration. You need to add run this client Elasticsearch node on the same machine as the Ruby app is running.

Yes! Thanks a lot..

Hi @karmi,

Is the setup describe above has the same effect like these settings? (taken from elasticsearch.yml)

node.master: true
node.data: false

We're using 0.90.1
