Hello, Can you tell what server specification I need for 100GB of data. I use it only for text search(not more then 3-4 words per search). Currently I`m using Amazon. I`ll need some advise. Which server is better for elasticsearch ? How much CPU, RAM and Disk space(HDD or SDD) for 100GB? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You need to test this yourself. Though 100GB of data should fit in 8GB of heap based on what I have seen. But again, test this as your dataset and usage may be unique.
