Hi All, I found that the data is stored in '/storage/elasticsearch/data'. I found some folder with name '\_state', which contains some files with names like 'state- '. But I could not read them. Please help me in this matter. And I could not get the details, where exactly the data mappings done and stored in Elastice Search? Reply is highly appreciated.

Hi Anurag, Thank you for the reply. I will work on that. Kindly suggest me, how can we learn complete Elasticsearch technical concepts. Because the project I am working now has already used Elasticsearch concepts. Now I need to get full knowledge related to this. Any free books available. I am already reviewing [www.elasticsearch.org](http://www.elasticsearch.org) site. But I still need more clarity related to practical / technical concepts. Thank you very much. Rudra B.
