Hi Mark,
Can you please elaborate on the option of copying files. We are looking for a super fast copying of an index (1 Shard, Read-Only, ~5GB, ~1M documents) from an indexing cluster to a query cluster. The source cluster has 0 replicas target cluster has 47 replicas. When using backup-restore it is taking ~20Min.
How can we take advantage of the fact that the index is merged and is read only for taking the minimal path.
Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated!
Baruch.
