Is there a recommended process for optimizing indices which have transitioned to a readonly state? For instance should we optimize indices to a single segment? Any other best practices to reduce searching time and decrease node restore time? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Have a look at what curator does. I believe it optimizes but I'm not sure how.

Single segment is good, but beware the overhead in getting there. On 07/03/2015 5:05 am, "Nikolas Everett" [nik9000@gmail.com](mailto:nik9000@gmail.com) wrote: > Have a look at what curator does.
