This is how I'm doing in java api: ImmutableSettings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder(); settings.put("path.home",System.getProperty("user.home")+"/ elasticSearch"); settings.put("number\_of\_shards",1); settings.put("number\_of\_replicas",0); Node node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().settings(settings).clusterName("firstCluster").node(); Client client = node.client(); client.admin().cluster().prepareHealth().setWaitForYellowStatus().execute().actionGet(); client.prepareIndex("searchdata", "exhibitor", "9999").setSource("My data information").execute().actionGet(); When I use this to create node and index, it creates the folder "elasticSearch" under my home directory. But even after I remove "elasticSearch" folder, it still does search. So I have no clue where it is grabbing the indexed data after I have completely deleted "elasticSearch" folder. Any suggestions? Thanks ---

If you set path.home, then the data location is based on that by default ( [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/dir-layout.html)). Can you check if under "user.home"/elasticSearch you have more data (nodes/0/indices/...)?

Yes, I have more folders inside (nodes/0/indices...). This is how my folder structure under (nodes/0/indices...) as follows: -/nodes - - /0 - - - /indices - - - - /searchdata - - - - - /0 - - - - - - /index - - - - - - /translog - - - - - /1 - - - - - - /index - - - - - - /translog Inside index and translog folders, I have few files. Inside folder indices, I have folder searchdata. Inside folder searchdata, I have two folders, and they are folder 0 and folder 1. Inside both folders 0 and 1, I have tow folders on each and they are folder index and folder translog. I'm using elasticSerach-0.18.5 version. Do you think my version of Elasticsearch may be an issue?

I have upgraded elasticSearch to 0.19.1 today and it seemed to fix the problem. Now if I remove the elasticsSearch folder, it is NOT doing search from "thin" air. Do you think a version might had a fix for my issue? Thanks, Satish ---

No, there wasn't anything fixed in that area..., it feels like maybe you fixed something else while you were at it?
