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

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

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.
