The core lucene engine mentions of indexing speed of 150 GB/hour. Are there similar benchmarks documented somewhere for Elasticsearch? what is the speed tested for elasticsearch ? with assumptions like 30KB each document ?

Regards,

Hi @talk2cshah,

yes, we run nightly benchmarks of Elasticsearch with different data sets and publish the results at [https://elasticsearch-benchmarks.elastic.co/](https://elasticsearch-benchmarks.elastic.co/)

All the data sets and the tooling is open source. The tool that runs the benchmarks is called [Rally](https://github.com/elastic/rally).

Daniel
