Good afternoon, I am in doubt about the storage space elasticsearch, for example, I have a 100mb log file when that file is read and stored by elasticsearch, what is the amount of space consumed by elasticsearch? 100Mb file X ?MB elasticsearch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It depends on so many parameters that there is no answer. Are you keeping \_source and \_all fields? What kind of analyzer are you using for each field? In addition to this, there is compression... Basically, you should test it with your use case to get a real size index. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 5 déc. 2013 à 20:07, JulioCezar Kenji Miyahira [juliojapa@gmail.com](mailto:juliojapa@gmail.com) a écrit : Good afternoon, I am in doubt about the storage space elasticsearch, for example, I have a 100mb log file when that file is read and stored by elasticsearch, what is the amount of space consumed by elasticsearch? ## 100Mb file X ?MB elasticsearch You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
