Has anyone used this [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/dev-tools/size-estimator-lucene-solr.xls](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/dev-tools/size-estimator-lucene-solr.xls)  
for ElasticSearch?

Or is there any such spreadsheet that can help estimate memory and  
storage for ElasticSearch?

The Lucene part is relevant to ES as well, though I am not sure that  
spreadsheet is correct...
