Hi,

I've set up a 3 nodes elasticsearch cluster.  
My cluster seems healthy. 😀  
{  
"cluster\_name" : "pprd-log",  
"status" : "green",  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"number\_of\_nodes" : 3,  
"number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 2,  
"active\_primary\_shards" : 8,  
"active\_shards" : 13,  
"relocating\_shards" : 0,  
"initializing\_shards" : 0,  
"unassigned\_shards" : 0,  
"delayed\_unassigned\_shards" : 0,  
"number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 0,  
"number\_of\_in\_flight\_fetch" : 0,  
"task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 0,  
"active\_shards\_percent\_as\_number" : 100.0  
}

I'm wondering if **/var/lib/elasticsearch** should be in a shared FS for all 3 nodes.

Best Regards  
Hamid
