Hello people,

I'm starting at ELK Stack and have a question.

For example, My ElasticSearch Cluster has three data nodes, one with 120 GB on disk and two with 60 GB. In that case, does ElasticSearch see only 60 GB of replication and I cannot use another 120 GB (60 GB remaining) node space?

Tks,

Welcome to our community! 😃

Elasticsearch does try to balance things out on all nodes, so it'll use the lowest common level - for you 60GB.
