Cross cluster search using seed nodes

Hello All,
I have been trying to make ROR work with cross-cluster search [Seed nodes] with no luck so far.

searches are going right through my ROR configs

I checked out your branch “zk_index_filter” which works with search api but doesnt work with _msearch.

Am I missing something in this?

What do you mean “going right through”? Need ES logs.
Also, zk_index_filter was merged long ago.

I dont think zk_index_filter was merged Simone, Please check once more on that. I used your zk_index_filter branch and added one more check to look for _msearch actions. which seems to be working fine,

Did you see my configs above, which basically didnt work at all.

OH NO. You are right, this remained in a pending state because I was waiting forever on the requester to test it. Now it’s a mess to merge. FML.

@rbkasat any chance you can help on merging this to master? :sweat:
I’m super busy now for field level security which is urgent.

Will take a stab at it in this weekend.
