Hi,

I am new to Elasticsearch.

I am having two different data sets (belongs to two different projects). Now how do I need to maintain them.  
Do I need to create two different clusters or nodes.

Today the data is small I am maintaining in local system. So how do i need to differentiate two project data sets.

Thanks,  
Kiran Kumar

Elasticsearch is multi tenancy so you can have one single cluster with 2 indices. Each index will have its own set of data.
