All  
I have been able to do a search successfully. Here is a sample of my code:  
ImmutableSettings.Builder settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder();  
settings.put("path.home","/elasticSearch");  
Client client = node.client();  
client.prepareIndex("searchdata", "a", String.valueOf(123)).setSource(createJsonForExhibitor(object)).execute().actionGet();

It creates this structure on my drive  
/elasticSearch  
/data  
/elasticSearch  
/nodes  
/0  
/state  
metadata-8  
shards-13  
/indices  
/searchdata  
/0  
/index  
/translog  
/1  
/2  
/3  
node.lock  
/1

What are these all folders for? Can somebody explain to me what are these folders mapped to my index creation?  
Thanks
