What is the right role for a coordinating node?

[vmm-afonso]

Hi, This is a pretty simple and straight forward question, what should be the node.role for a coordinating node here? Because I've seen someone on the forum saying I could leave it as a remote_client_cluster and it would serve the same purpose and since setting every other role to false or setting roles: [] doesn't seem to do the job, I'm wondering if remote_client_cluster is the way to go.

Due to opensearch-project/opensearch-build#2129 / opensearch-project/OpenSearch#3412 unfortunately it isn't possible to define a co-ordinating node in the chart.

I've worked around this by specifying my "coordinating" nodes with an ingest role.

Hey, thank you for the quick reply.

Ohh ok that's unfortunate. I will give my 'coordinating' nodes the ingest role as you suggest then.

Appreciate the help, ty!
