Remote cluster connections work by configuring a remote cluster and connecting 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 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 registered, its cluster state is retrieved from one of the seed nodes so that by
