I'm trying to wrap my head around the issues of using the Java API and how the internals of ElasticSearch (ES) work. In fact, the organization of a large ES installation would be nice to have cleared up. Let's say I wanted to create a large multinational, multilingual site. There'd be data centers in various cities of the world, each set with the country/language locale, each with local content. My goal is to have those searchable from around the world, based on some small amount of translation upon data insertion. How would the clusters, nodes, etc be set up to talk to each other? And what is exchanged, pure JSON? What? ---

You mean each data center will have its own set of data, and own set of machines? You can have an ES cluster (or a singel node) per data center in this case, each responsible for its own content.

How easy would it be to make local data be master at each site, and slave clusters of data from other locations, so searching would be done locally on real-time-local-data and on lazily updated remote data (from other locales)?

I don't really follow what you are asking.... Maybe you could describe what you ultimately want to (be able to) do? ## Otis Performance Monitoring for Solr / Elasticsearch / HBase - > **[Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](https://sematext.com/spm)** > > Bring together your servers, Apps, Metrics, Logs & Events ✓ Over 40 integrations to easily collect metrics & events across your whole stack ✓ Start now!

In this case, you will need to make sure to a DC will write to all other clusters so they will have it locally as well.

I was thinking that would be what I would have to do, Kimchy/Shay. I'll have to revisit this later, solving more near term design problems.
