Hallo everybody, I am new to elastic search. So ... First: How can I start clients/masters on more then one server? Second: Where can I find a list of all options and there default values? Greets Tom ---

Is it possible to limit the addresses on which to search for new masters/slaves? I want to start some intances on some EC2 servers.

In EC2 you will need to use unicast. The configuration is explained here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/#Multicast\_Disabled](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/#Multicast_Disabled) On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 3:17 PM, Tom Lander [tom.lili@ymail.com](mailto:tom.lili@ymail.com) wrote: > Is it possible to limit the addresses on which to search for new > masters/slaves? > > I want to start some intances on some EC2 servers. > > Greetz Tom > > * * * > > _Von:_ Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com) > _An:_ [users@elasticsearch.com](mailto:users@elasticsearch.com) > _Gesendet:_ Dienstag, den 2.

Hello List, If two nodes are distant (two different data centers, communicating over the WAN), what is the best way to detect the nodes? What ports should I open on my firewall? Thanks TuX ---

In this case you would probably want to use unicast discovery as explained in the jgroups section ( [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/#Multicast\_Disabled](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/discovery/jgroups/#Multicast_Disabled)). The transport specific ports are 9300-9400 (explained here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/modules/transport/netty/)) - this controls the communication between nodes. -shay.banon On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 11:05 AM, TuX Racer [tuxracer69@gmail.com](mailto:tuxracer69@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello List, > > If two nodes are distant (two different data centers, communicating > over the WAN), what is the best way to detect the nodes? > What ports should I open on my firewall? > > Thanks > TuX ---

When the cluster does contain nodes in separate colocations. Is it possible to ensure that a copy of each shard exists within each colocation and that any search is, if possible, performed on the replicas in the same colocation ? I have a scenario where I need to have the same search index in 4 colocations. Our current solution involves building a separate index within each colocation. It would be great if I could configure them in a cluster so that changes could be made in only one colocation and replicated to the rest Graham.

Currently, you can't do that with elasticsearch. What I mean is that you can't enforce where replica will exists, and you can't enforce where a search will go to. But, all is there and thought about, so its natural to add. I do plan to try and address something similar soon. -shay.banon On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 2:31 AM, Graham Barr [gmbarr@gmail.com](mailto:gmbarr@gmail.com) wrote: > When the cluster does contain nodes in separate colocations.
