Hello, I'm evaluating search engines and elasticsearch in particular to setup distributed search in AWS. What I found is that cloud-aws supports single region and multiple availability zones for clustering. I'm wondering is this possible to support multiple regions as well? That way I can split elasticsearch servers across us-east-1, us-west-1 and eu-west-1 and provide reasonably small response time for users in US and Europe with a single cluster. Thanks. ---

Found a solution - simply setup one cluster on eu-west (or wherever else), then on servers in different region give: _cloud.aws.region: eu-west_ Autodiscovery will search for servers in eu-west in this case [ and it works for me ] On Thursday, 14 June 2012 13:49:49 UTC+1, Eduard Dudar wrote: > Hello, > > I'm evaluating search engines and elasticsearch in particular to setup > distributed search in AWS.

Hi Lukasz, I'm having trouble setting up multi region support with instances in US & EU. ES seems to be finding the other machine but looking it up using internal 10.\* IP address. Did you have to configure fixed external IP's or change your local /hosts/ settings to allow communication over the seperate regions?
