Cross cluster search works by configuring a remote cluster in the cluster state and connecting only to a
limited number of nodes in the remote cluster. Each remote cluster is referenced by a name and a list of seed nodes.
Those seed nodes are used to discover nodes in the remote cluster which are eligible as _gateway nodes_.
When a remote cluster is registered, its cluster state is retrieved from one of the seed nodes so that up to 3
_gateway nodes_ are selected to be connected to as part of upcoming cross cluster search requests.
Cross cluster search requests consist of uni-directional connections from the coordinating node to the previously
selected remote nodes only. It is possible to tag which nodes should be selected through
node attributes (see <<cross-cluster-search-settings>>).
Each node in a cluster that has remote clusters configured connects to one or more _gateway nodes_ and uses
them to federate search requests to the remote cluster.
