Hello Folks,
I am new to ElasticSearch and exploring for use in our Electronic
Products.
Approximately 60 million documents from 10-12 sources, ~100 fields and ~QPS
of 50.
Please share any information on impacts to search/indexing latency when a
Node is added or goes down for any reason.
regards,
girish

General Q, general A 🙂
- Fewer nodes -\> slower queries
- Node down -\> insufficient replicas -\> shard shuffling -\> disk + network
IO -\> slower queries
