How well do tribe nodes work?

[grantr]

@sagarl How are tribe nodes working for you? Have you found any gotchas? Do you have any learnings about distributed scoring across clusters?

We're looking into tribe nodes at GitHub and Netflix is the only company I know of using them in a production environment.

@grantr we are in the process of using Tribe nodes in Multi-Region environment. We have few single region clusters deployed in us-east, us-west and eu-west regions and we'll be setting up Tribe Node to access these clusters. I think, we'll have something concrete by the end of next month. I'll update this thread after initial findings.

We have tested Tribe nodes in Single Region setup and mostly used for Kibana setup only.

Thanks @sagarl!
