I try to increase the capacity of my persistant volume for elasticsearch.
However this seems to be not so straightforward, as explained in this article:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-orchestration.html#k8s-orchestration-limitations](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-orchestration.html#k8s-orchestration-limitations)
I'm new to Kubernetes, and I struggle to make sense of this article.
The article suggest to rename NodeSet, but I can't find any resources of type NodeSet in my cluster.
And how can renaming a nodeset create a new StatfulSet with increased storage capacity?
Many thanks!

I do try this before ...
Modify the Node Set Name and New Size , then reapply the yaml
> ```

> > nodeSets:
> > #Define the Node nameing and number of size
> > - name: master-1 # Modify This Name
> > count: 3
> > #Define Using PVC and Size

> > resources:
> > requests:
> > storage: 500Gi #Modify your new size
> > storageClassName: standard
> > config:
> > #Define the role for the node
> > node.master: true
> > ...

I am interested in how to do it as well!

The nodeSet in the doc you referenced is an item in the `spec.nodeSets` part of the Elasticsearch resource. There's an example in the quickstart:

Thank you, this solved my problem!

Do Increasing the disk's storage space by this method, takes care of the existing data in ElasticSearch node ?
