All, Need advice on ES prod configuration,Our use case is very straightforward and simple. Data is updated only once per week and mostly the data would be searched. We have 3 nodes and planning to configure them as follows. 1 nodes with data true and master false, 2 nodes with data and master true. we have a web server acting as proxy on top of the 3 nodes, hence did not choose the node client route. also if i bulk insert data should i be inserting into data=true ,master=false or the other 2 nodes is this a good idea? Another question, in Test we were running 2 boxes with master and data true(default) we bulk inserted node 1 and dont see data replica in node2, why would that happen, i set the number\_replicas to 1 in the config.

You'd be better off setting them all as master and data true, it'll reduce the possibility for a split brain situation to occur. In that instance, and with your proxy, it doesn't really matter too much where you bulk index data. Did you specify replicas when you created the index? If you didn't then it should replicate based on your setting.

Thank you, as i finished the post and was reading documentation, it made sense to make all of them master and data as true. i haven't specifically mentioned replica when i bulk index, if i specify what would be the syntax, so that i can go back and double check.
