Hi all, In order to solve the query/ aggregation issue, I want to save index data in HDFS and ES keeps the index pointer. Does anyone know that before? I know someone use MySQL to keep the index data, it's very like what I am talking about. However HDFS is more attractive to me, becasue HDFS is a centralize place that I can share it to different hadoop ecosystem.
