What is the reference hardware for a Cluster Master?

I am looking for something similar to http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Deploy/Referencehardware , but for Splunk Clusters that mentions the cluster master.

Hello

The reference hardware is the same for all Splunk instances. There is no specific details for the cluster master, although it probably won´t use as much resources as the other servers

Any storage/CPU/IOPS recommendations at all?
