Hi Team,

I want to know capability of Ingest Node to handle heavy load of docs.  
Here we have 12,00,000 docs per minute will be index through Ingest Pipeline .

Will Ingest Node handle this load ?

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,  
Jalpesh

A single node may not be able to handle it, you probably want multiple.

I can't tell you definitively, you should test the load.
