Hi there, does ECE persist the data / indices also locally on the respective allocator / host? All I can find is the data in the container itself. For example: sh-5.0# ls -ltr total 12 -rw-rw-r-- 1 elasticsearch elasticsearch 0 Sep 18 07:04 node.lock drwxrwxr-x 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch 42 Sep 18 07:04 snapshot\_cache drwxrwxr-x 24 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Sep 20 11:32 indices drwxrwxr-x 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Sep 20 11:56 \_state Kind regards! ---

...someone out there (some elastic guy perhaps?) who could give me a quite basic answer to this question? cheers ---
