Thanks. I do realize that I need more nodes, but it was only meant for 
testing.
Q1) Can you expand a bit on 'full' writes, I am not sure what you meant by 
it (reference also would help.

As far as the setup, its the normal 2 node EC2 cluster, Java transport 
Client with Bulk processor. 
Q2) My 2 ymls have the default setup for the most part, do I need to tell 
one to be a master and the other not? (By default both nodes will be 
eligible to be master candidates). As far as the split brain, I thought its 
recommended to be 2?N +1, so for 2 nodes, it would be 2.
