Shards allocation and limitations

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All,

   I have an index with 51 millions records i have 2 nodes in my

cluster.

   no of shards for the above index is  : 5
   replicas are :1

        my question is how many records we can index to get better

search capabilities? Is there any limitation for the index that will hold
these many records. or please suggest me what are the settings in
elasticsearch.yml file to optimize the index which is hoding 51 million
records.

         can we increase number of shards other than five ? if we

increase that one is there any problems with searching records?

          please help me.

Thanks

phani

Depends on your setup.

Increasing shard count is only going to be useful if you add more nodes.
