  1. ES shards and replicates indexes. It is what I would call 'statically
    sharded' - that is you specify up front the number of shards and replicas
    you want and that's how many there will be. Shards and replicas are then
    allocated to nodes in your cluster.

Is there a link where I can read how to configure that? Also, does it
make it HA for eg: if on enode goes down then it doesn't impact the
searching?

  1. Up to you:
    Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

How to decide which one to use? I also see it integrates with CouchDB.
When having TBs of data is it ok to keep on the file system?

  1. Depends upon your use case. Everyone's data and everyone's indexes will
    be different.

Are there any general guidelines that might be applicable to everyone
or at least gives litte more thought processing into design this
efficiently?

I am new to Elasticsearch and trying to understand the concept. I am
trying to find the information:

  1. about how it distributes, replicates data for HA.
  2. Where does it store the data?
  3. Optimization techniques
