Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is possible to run both validators and normal non-validating full nodes on the relay-chain side. But on the parachain side, it is only possible to run a collator node, not a normal non-collating full node.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see an option to put collator = false for parachain nodes, just like how you can put validator = false for relay nodes.
Describe alternatives you've considered
As a short-term workaround I've added a --seriously-dont-collate flag to my node which overrides the --collator flag. This is obviously not ideal though.

Aha! I just figured out that you can actually put validator = false under the collators section too. So I already have what I wanted.
It might be nice to make this a little more evident by including it in one of the examples. And since parachain nodes don't actually have to be colaltors, maybe the schema should be renamed to nodes just like in the relay chain section.
Anyway, it works well enough for me, so feel free to close if you don't want to rename or adjust examples :)
And yeah, it might be nice to also allow the syntax collator = false, but again, up to you.

Request: Ability to run parachain full node (not collator)

Hey @JoshOrndorff, sorry about the delay. Yes, for nodes (both relaychain or parachains) we use some common fields (like validator), let me explore is we can alias as collator since the terminology is more correct with the context.
I think the simplest workaround is to add the collator field to the NodeConfig interface and use that field to evaluate if isValidator in getCollatorNodeFromConfig. Ping @wirednkod did you want to grab this one?
