Data distribution over shards and replicas

Thanks a lot Mark. That explains a lot.

By backup I meant copy of same data.

One last question, for fast searching what will be the better selection?
single index multiple shards or multiple index single shard?

Can you please give some reference how lucene splits documents and store in
shards. That will help to get better idea.

Thanks,
Subhadip
