It depends: - do you use the factory to connect to a node (TransportClient or Client from a Client Node)? If so, documents are in your node. - do you use the factory to start an embedded node? If so, documents are stored on your local node (look for a data dir) from where you start your java code. You can set it up using [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/dir-layout.html) -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr | @scrutmydocs Le 18 mars 2013 à 16:30, Ammar Yahia [yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com](mailto:yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi all > > i use spring-elasticsearch, I want to know the documents indexed by this factory where they are stored ?? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I use a separate elasticsearch instance (we'll call inst1), which is empty (I delete the data folder), and in my web application I am using the factory spring-elasticsearch, i use this declaration in application context \ \ elasticsearch instance in inst1 is up, when I start my application I notice that there are indexes that are added in my inst1, so they are sent by the instance elasticsearch who is started by the factory spring-elasticsearch; and in my web-application i don't find data folder that should contains the different informations sent to inst1. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

so different information is stored in the node launched by the factory spring-elasticsearch ?? how can I delete these different data? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

So you are using a Node which is client only? By default, Nodes are regular ones (means that they hold data). You can log the path using debug level: [https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/fr/pilato/spring/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchNodeFactoryBean.java#L69](https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/fr/pilato/spring/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchNodeFactoryBean.java#L69) If you don't find files data, that probably means that you have somewhere an es.properties file or an elasticsearch.yml file in your classpath. An example of es.properties can be found here: [https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch/blob/master/src/test/resources/es.properties](https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch/blob/master/src/test/resources/es.properties) That said, are you sure that you want to hold data in your web app and not only on ES nodes (inst1)? -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr | @scrutmydocs Le 18 mars 2013 à 17:25, Ammar Yahia [yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com](mailto:yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com) a écrit : > I use a separate elasticsearch instance (we'll call inst1), which is empty (I delete the data folder), and in my web application I am using the factory spring-elasticsearch, i use this declaration in > > application context \ > \ > > elasticsearch instance in inst1 is up, when I start my application I notice that there are indexes that are added in my inst1, so they are sent by the instance elasticsearch who is started by the factory spring-elasticsearch; and in my web-application i don't find data folder that should contains the different informations sent to inst1. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
