Hi All, Iam new to elasticsearch and using elasticsearch-1.0.0.RC1. when iam indexing the bulk files(documents like txt,pdf etc) it taking more time. Apart from my application have one table with all files details with url also. loop the table data and get the content from the files with url by using curl and convert into base64\_encode and indexing. (by following exact steps from: [http://www.elasticsearch.cn/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html](http://www.elasticsearch.cn/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html)) please any body provide the solution to decrease the bulk files indexing time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

If you have capacity, you could try creating a few shards first, and then index in parallel (i.e. from multiple threads). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
