Hi team,

I have one index but have different type. how to separate the type into different node.  
my data insert to elasticsearch 2.4 will be as below:

- /news/trkd/

- /news/ph/

- /news/nnr

How to separate this folder into different nodes?  
For example:  
/news/trkd/ to node 1,  
/news/ph/ to node 2.  
/news/nnr to node 3...

Thanks and Best regards  
Sharon

Types within an index are stored in the same physical files, so can not be split out. You would need to reindex the data and create separate indices in order to control distribution across nodes.
