The number of replica shards is very low, since this is the default, I would expect numbers comparative to primary shards.

BTW do you have some percentiles as opposed to avgs (none of these have normal distribution I think) Dne 16.10.2013 16:07 "Roy Russo" [royrusso@gmail.com](mailto:royrusso@gmail.com) napsal(a): > FYI... > > Anonymous usage data compiled and made available to the Elasticsearch > community here: [http://www.elastichq.org/elasticsearchstats.php](http://www.elastichq.org/elasticsearchstats.php) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I bet the number of people running single node clusters for development brings that down. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The percentage of users with 0 replica shards in the dataset today is over 50%. Likely closer to 60%. Vincent is correct, that it does look like most of these people are in development mode. I'm working on breaking the data in to quartiles, as per Lukas' thoughts. I expected to see a bell curve, but instead the data looks more like an exponentially decreasing curve across every metric.
