What is the max GB of memory data that KB can hold? I currently have 6 indices that occupy about 7GB of data and am trying to read more data in but KB doesn't seem to be ingesting the data properly. Thanks in advance! ---

@dundundundun I'm not sure if I followed your question completely. However I think this post has valuable information about Elasticsearch limits regarding index max size and sharding [https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster) Cheers ---
