Hello,

i set up on permise Kubernetes Cluster, i would like try run stateful elasticsearch in the cluster , my main concern is the storage how can be shared between the nodes, i thought about setting up GlusterFS, do you know guys if GulsterFS works fine as storage for elasticsearch?

Thanks,  
Zak

GlusterFS is as far as I know not recommended, and there have been reports of issues. Have a look at the following threads:

I don't know what happen. I am the beginner for the Elasticsearch. I use local file system as storage backend before, it didn't find this problem. what is the best solution to share the elastic data among all the kubernetes nodes? Thanks.

I suspect there might be additional ones if you search the forum.
