This is all pilot/testing based.
I have 3 servers in the cluster (normally 4 but one is de-commissioned at the moment)
4 shards (normally 1 per server)
Servers have 128GB RAM, 36TB disk, 12 cores with hyperthreading
Current index (this is the new one for testing that I am currently trying to improve) is 163GB in size with 43 million documents.
