Hi All, When we provides documents or data objects to Elasticsearch using REST APIs. Elasticsearch store the data to local store or any node in ES cluster. I want to understand how elasticsearch store the data internally. Is there any documentation available on architecture and storing mechanism. Thanks in advance.
