Remote cluster connections work by configuring a remote cluster 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. When a remote cluster is
referenced by a name and a list of seed nodes. When a remote cluster is
registered, its cluster state is retrieved from one of the seed nodes so that by
default up to three _gateway nodes_ are selected to be connected to as part of
remote cluster requests. Remote cluster connections 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 <<remote-cluster-settings>>).
only. You can tag which nodes should be selected by using node attributes (see <<remote-cluster-settings>>).
Each node in a cluster that has remote clusters configured connects to one or
more _gateway nodes_ and uses them to federate requests to the remote cluster.
