Difference b/w Index,type,node

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi ,

I have started using elastic search , I have couple of confusions regarding
the terminologies they use in the elastic search documentation , these may
be naive but will help me understand configuration better .

Index: Its is the place where all the data is stored. Its a lucene
instance. an index can have multiple types.
Type: Its just a logical partition inside the Index.
Node: Its is a instance of elastic search server . It can have multiple
indexes . A single system(PC) can run multiple instances of elastic search.

Index can have shards , running on different nodes , how do we put the
shards on different nodes i.e. different elastic search servers?

Any links to ppt or documentation will be helpful.

Regards
Paul

ES handles allocation of shards automatically, it's one of the things that
makes it so awesome.

There is this glossary in the documentation that might assist -
