I am inserting documents in to elasticsearch and seeing that they take about 2ms on average. my documents are not to large sometimes mostly about 1kb in size. I am woundering if there is anyway to speed up isnerts even if it means loosing some relaiblaity. ore if the code will return after juornalling or something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You have some options: - split indexing strategy into baseline ingesting and incremental updates - use bulk indexing for baseline ingest - reduce replica level to 0 while baseline ingesting - use parallel indexing code on client side - use faster disks - optimize input/output (reduce number of exepensive oprations like fsync, use larger buffers etc.) What API do you use for indexing documents, Java or HTTP?
