Elasticsearch allows you to setup heterogeneous clusters, that is, nodes with different configurations within the same cluster. Elastic (the company) refers to this architecture as “Hot-Warm”, but it’s called tiered storage if you come from a storage background.
The canonical example is that you have a bunch of data you want to keep online and able to query, but it becomes less relevant over time.
