Hi everyone, I want to know how many documents in a shard. For example, I was created the index with the default configuration. How many document of number 0 shard? Similarly, how do I know which shard document? Thanks. ## -- Please update your bookmarks!

First, you should head over to [http://discuss.elastic.co/](http://discuss.elastic.co/) for stuff like this in the future - this mailing list is deprecated.
