The _cross cluster search_ feature allows any node to act as a federated client across
multiple clusters. In contrast to the _tribe_ feature, a _cross cluster search_ node won't
multiple clusters. In contrast to the <<modules-tribe,tribe node>> feature, a cross cluster search node won't
join the remote cluster, instead it connects to a remote cluster in a light fashion in order to execute
federated search requests.
The _cross cluster search_ feature works by configuring a remote cluster in the cluster state and connects only to a
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 other nodes eligible as so-called _gateway nodes_. 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.
Those seed nodes are used to discover nodes in the remote cluster which are eligible as _gateway nodes_.
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.
Remote clusters can either be configured as part of the `elasticsearch.yml` file or be dynamically updated via
the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>>. If a remote cluster is configured via `elasticsearch.yml` only
the nodes with the configuration set will be connecting to the remote cluster in which case federated search requests
will have to be sent specifically to those nodes. Remote clusters set via the
<<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>> will be available on every node in the cluster.

=== Configuring Cross Cluster Search
Remote clusters can be specified globally using <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings>>
(which can be updated dynamically), or local to individual nodes using the
`elasticsearch.yml` file.
If a remote cluster is configured via `elasticsearch.yml` only the nodes with
that configuration will be able to connect to the remote cluster. In other
words, federated search requests will have to be sent specifically to those
nodes. Remote clusters set via the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>>
will be available on every node in the cluster.
The `elasticsearch.yml` config file for a _cross cluster search_ node just needs to list the
remote clusters that should be connected to, for instance:

These names are subsequently used to distinguish between local and remote indices.
The equivalent example using the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster settings API>>
to add remote clusters to all nodes in the cluster would look like the
following:
