Load balancing elastic search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

dantuff (Dan Tuffery) June 11, 2013, 6:50pm 1

Hi, I have three servers each running an instance of elastic search. I have
been given the task to load balance them. Should I use one server as a
master node for load balancing request to two slave nodes?

Is there a better way to do it?

Or any good resources on how to load balance ES?

AFAIK load balancing is done automatically in ES.
When you fire a request to a node and it feels there is someone who can
serve the request better , it redirects the request to that node.

Thanks

Thanks Vineeth,

There must be some configuration required. I have es1 on ServerA, es2 on
serverB and es3 on serverC, so I need to tell es1, es2 and es3 about each
other.

No need of configuration , load would be evenly balanced between the nodes
automatically.

Thanks
