we have around 500 indices all sizing to approx 50gb respectively and total 
size goes around 1tb for all indices and will keep on increasing .
The reason behind setting node3 as Master=false,data=false because in 
configuration file i read this type of node will only work for searching 
,aggregation etc. Do i still need to set node3 three as mater and data
