If I was planning on large growth and needing high performance, how could i allocate indexing, sharding and the inverse, searching. My candidates for division are: 1/ geocoordinates 2/ locale/original-untranslatedd klnguage 3/ date/time 4/ tags If I locate swrvers at different amazon ec2 centers there are 5 zones per center in the USA. I would want full duplication between centers in 'eventual' mode, with each having geographical related data. As far as I know only custom sharding is available within elasticsearch. An I right, there's no way to control division to nodes jn a cluater or to clusters either? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
