Hi, I have a data about 2Gb And I want to make a search & autocomplete in this db. I have a server: CPU: 24 core RAM: 32Gb (up to 64 Gb if needed) I don't need to index frequently, all I hope is optimize for search & autocomplete. so I want to bring it all to memory, but in the guide it's not persistence. ([http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/store/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/store/)) So all I want to help is which type of store should I set and how. If I have index my db into elasticsearch with default setting, would I need to reindex again in case I change store type ?

I would just stick with the default index store type. If your index is that small, it will end up in the filesystem cache at some point in time. You optionally can uses warmers to speed up this process. Btw If you change the store type to from default to memory then you'll need to reindex.
