Hey thanks for clarifying! I actually ended up setting it up as 1x master-only, 2x master-eligible data-nodes, realizing that I would need 3 eligible masters while putting it all together.
On the heap problems, could you be more specific about what you are referring to, or maybe point me towards a resource where I could learn more about this? If I am understanding this correctly, the minimum size cluster you are suggesting is 5 nodes, with 3 master-only nodes and 2 data-only nodes. Thinking ahead, each additional data node will require an additional master-only node. Thanks for taking time to help out!
