If there are multiple indexer from redis access to data, resulting in each indexer data are not complete, I would like to ask how to solve this problem? Generally speaking, a logstash system can only be one indexer?  
So if there are multiple indexer how to ensure that each indexer can get the complete data?

Why would each indexer need access to all data? And if you split the event stream so that all indexers receive all events, how would you avoid duplication later on? Please elaborate on what you're trying to do.
