For example, the <>, +<>, and <> APIs +can all report results from a filtered set of nodes rather than from all nodes. + +_Node filters_ are written as a comma-separated list of individual filters, +each of which adds or removes nodes from the chosen subset. Each filter can be +one of the following: + +* `_all`, to add all nodes to the subset. +* `_local`, to add the local node to the subset. +* `_master`, to add the currently-elected master node to the subset. +* a node id or name, to add this node to the subset. +* an IP address or hostname, to add all matching nodes to the subset. +* a pattern, using `*` wildcards, which adds all nodes to the subset + whose name, address or hostname matches the pattern. +* `master:true`, `data:true`, `ingest:true` or `coordinating_only:true`, which + respectively add to the subset all master-eligible nodes, all data nodes, + all ingest nodes, and all coordinating-only nodes. +* `master:false`, `data:false`, `ingest:false` or `coordinating_only:false`, + which respectively remove from the subset all master-eligible nodes, all data + nodes, all ingest nodes, and all coordinating-only nodes. +* a pair of patterns, using `*` wildcards, of the form `attrname:attrvalue`, + which adds to the subset all nodes with a custom node attribute whose name + and value match the respective patterns. Custom node attributes are + configured by setting properties in the configuration file of the form + `node.attr.attrname: attrvalue`. + +NOTE: node filters run in the order in which they are given, which is important +if using filters that remove nodes from the set. For example +`_all,master:false` means all the nodes except the master-eligible ones, but +`master:false,_all` means the same as `_all` because the `_all` filter runs +after the `master:false` filter. + +NOTE: if no filters are given, the default is to select all nodes. However, if +any filters are given then they run starting with an empty chosen subset. This +means that filters such as `master:false` which remove nodes from the chosen +subset are only useful if they come after some other filters.
