• Part of efforts toward sharding, which is required when dealing with really big databases
• New endpoints: GET /network and PATCH /network
  • Use it to set a self and one or more remotes
  • self is a string and indicates the name of the current machine/instance/node
  • remotes is an object containing remote objects. Remote objects consist of a name (the object key) and two values (url and searchApiKey)
• New /multi-search parameters: federationOptions.remote and federationOptions.queryPosition
  • queryPosition should not be set manually (not sure why this is exposed on the request then?)
  • remote accepts a string, specifies which remote instance should run that specific query instead of self
• Summarized workflow:
  1. Set self
  2. Set one or more remotes
  3. Query /multi-search setting federationOptions.remote for one or more queries
