Hi,
I am using elasticsearch to index the documents. I created a cluster of ES
with 2 node work as master and node both. Below is the result of the
\_cluster/health api:
{
"cluster\_name" : "es-cluster",
"status" : "green",
"timed\_out" : false,
"number\_of\_nodes" : 2,
"number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 2,
"active\_primary\_shards" : 10,
"active\_shards" : 20,
"relocating\_shards" : 0,
"initializing\_shards" : 0,
"unassigned\_shards" : 0
}
When I call the stats API, it prints the statistics about the index. I
looked on the output docs:count and size of the index which is 174005 and
138.2mb, marked blue as below. However, in total section, it shows docs:
count: 348010 and size:276.4mb marked red as below. Could someone please
explain this difference to me? Is this usual behavior or is something wrong
with my configuration?
{"ok":true,"\_shards":{"total":10,"successful":10,"failed":0},"\_all":{"primaries":{

The answer is written in the stats:
"active\_primary\_shards" : 10,
"active\_shards" : 20
Seems like you have 10 shards and 1 replica per shard. So "primaries":{
"docs":{"count":174005 is for the primary shards and "total":{
"docs":{"count":348010 is for total, including primaries and replicas.
Therefore double number.

Thank you Andrej for the clarification. It means I should modify the cluster settings to configure shards and replicas. I'll have to add more nodes in near future.
Please suggest if you have any input on this.
Thanks
