"client node" in AWS Elasticsearch?
<p>Reading about the proper architecture for Elasticsearch, I hear about 3 types of nodes:</p>

<ul>
<li>Master node (Keeps the shards routing table)</li>
<li>Client node (Does the CPU/Memory intensive merge sort of the results)</li>
<li>Data node (Contains the actual shards with the data)</li>
</ul>

<p>From my understanding when connecting to the Elasticsearch cluster using non Java clients, you should be connecting to the client node. However I don't see anything about the Client Node on AWS Elasticsearch.</p>

<p>Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Sep</p>
