I am unable to understand the results from the CAT API curl '[http://hdpdncwy0001.global.shareddev.acxiom.net:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://hdpdncwy0001.global.shareddev.acxiom.net:9200/_cat/indices?v)' health index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size green ce 5 1 779999000 0 4.7tb 2.3tb From the result I see that the replication is 1 yet my Total Store size is two times my primary store size. Can someone please explain what that is the case? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Total = primary + replica, so it makes sense.

Replica =1 means you have 1 replica of the master shards - I.e. you have 2 copies of the data in total.
