Clustering data consistency question

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I have a cluster of 3 nodes where each node has all roles (master, data, ingest).
I use logstash which pushes the data to elasticsearch.

When is the ack sent to logstash? After the data has been replicated or just when it was saved to the ingest node?

Let's say I have node A,B,C. Logstash is sending a bulk index request to A. Is it possible that data is lost, if A crashes after sending the ack to logstash but before the data is replicated to B or C?

Thanks, Andreas

Elasticsearch only acknowledges a write request after all the documents in that request have been durably written to disk on all in-sync shard copies (primaries and replicas). See the reference manual for more details.
