Hi there,  
I'm building a private search engine.

There will be only **2 indexes**. I have to store **63+ Billion** docs this is around **2TB** of raw CSV file.  
My document is not that much complex, it has only two fields 1. **Username** 2. **address**

My question is for that type of setup how many nodes do I need? how many shards do I need to create? and other configure as well like how many RAM do I need and CPU core do I need.

**Note:- It will be a managed server, I will buy a new PC according to this configuration.**
