Hi Team, I'm trying to create the 3 Node Elasticsearch Cluster to store the time series logging data. The shards will have only 1 replication count to minimize the storage utilization. Need help to understand the below points: 1. Can I create the cluster with Hot(2 Nodes) and Warm(1 Node) nodes ? 2. If yes, In case if any one of the Hot Node goes down, will that cause any problem to the shards ? 3. Is there any other alternative to achieve Hot - Warm Architecture with the cluster size of 3 ? Thanks and Regards, Rakesh Chhabria ---

1. Yes 2. Not for the hot data. But you won't be able to have any replicas for the warm node, which is a concern 3. Not without loss of a replica set for either hot or warm Why not just make it a cluster where they are all the same? ---

Hi Mark, Even I was also of the opinion of going ahead with Uniform Architecture, just wanted to explore the Hot-Warm Architecture option. Could you please let me know what are recommended number of nodes to achieve the H-W Architecture. Thanks and Regards, Rakesh Chhabria ---

You'd want 5 - 2 hot, 3 warm. This also means you maintain an uneven number for quorum. ---

In that scenario I can make any 3 Nodes as Master Node, for e.g. 1 Hot Master Node and 2 Warm Master Nodes. ---

Master eligible, yes you could do that. ---
