All, I've been searching around for load balancing and GSLB as related to elastic search, but info seems to be very sparse (or related to elasticsearch's internal load balancing scheme). I am implementing a pair of three node clusters in different data centers as the data store for logstash and Kibana. I want to place each cluster behind a local load balancer and put both VIPs under GSLB. I'd like to have at least one replicate of a data center's data on the other cluster. Has anyone attempted this? How did you set it up? What operational problems did you run encounter? My concern is that the latency between the data centers will reduce insert and search performance too much. Any info and ideas are appreciated.
