High fetch times

Im using ElasticHQ to monitor our cluster and I am noticing that our Search
Fetch times are about 5X more then query times, which seems unreasonable
(20ms vs ~4ms)

Im also noticing a 1.44 mb swap space on one of the nodes (the other node
is at 0)

We're using a 2 node cluster, 2 shards 1 replica on EC2 m1.small instances

Our index contains about 27K docs, total size of ~ 60mb (pretty small -
hence the small instance)

Any suggestions to why?

I believe this makes sense then - search is entirely in-memory operation
(after a certain warm up), and fetch involves disk IO. Try keep your docs
as small as possible and don't disable _source, but other than that you're
bounded by the speed of your disks.

Thanks Itamar

Im also seeing that the refresh is pretty high137.4ms

Another factor is that the fetch times are constantly growing - while the
query times are cinctantly the same

If such latency worries you, use in-memory structures to pull the original
documents based on the IDs of the results. Your dataset is small enough to
do that, really. But I suspect this is premature optimization that you are
trying to do.
