Hey Folks,

Just wanted to say, thanks to everyone in helping me get though the upgrade from 2.4 -\> 5.4.1  
It was difficult trying to figuring out all the little details and changes that 5.X introduced but you all helped me though it.

THANKS!

So now I have a lean mean log processing machine

**2.4** Indexing only maxing out at ~12K per second  
1 Big Cluster  
14 Servers (40 CPU's and +128GB ram ) 40TB EMC Storage  
\* 20 Indexes a day ( 16 deleted after 5 days 4 kept for 20 days )  
\* \>4000 shards (30K at one point)  
\* 70 Data Nodes  
\* 3 masters  
\* 3 clients  
\* 3 Kafka Nodes  
\* 6 indexing Logstash servers  
\* 150 Servers forwarding logs

**5.4.1** Not sure of the max yet, but processing 30K messages per second  
5 Clusters ( Separated by Business Unit 4 in NY 1 in JXN,Ms)  
14 Servers + 4 new VM in remote data center  
\* 10 Indexes a day ( 16 deleted after 5 days 4 kept for 20 days )  
\* 4 shards per index (about 8 shards a day per cluster )  
\* 4 Data Nodes ( per cluster )  
\* 3 masters ( per cluster)  
\* 1 clients (per cluster )  
\* 3 Kafka Nodes ( TOTAL)  
\* 1 Tribe Node ( I am aware of it being deprecated as of 5.3 but the Cross Cluster search is a new concept to me)  
\* 5 indexing Logstash servers  
\* 150 Servers forwarding logs
