Is it possible to keep certain high usage indices on the more powerful instance and offload indexes that are older to a low power instance? I am hoping to keep all shards of new indexes on the primary instance to increase throughput.
That said, maybe it is easier with such a small cluster to have same powered instances and go the above route over time with more nodes.
Also, you might want to take a look at Searchable Snapshots if you want to offload data from your cluster, but still have it searchable (even though not in real time anymore).
