Setting up a node

ElasticSearch allows you to customize several parameters in an installation. In this recipe, we'll see the most used ones to define where to store our data and to improve general performances.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch installation.

How to do it...

The steps required for setting up a simple node are as follows:

  1. Open the config/elasticsearch.yml file with an editor of your choice.

  2. Set up the directories that store your server data:

path.data: /opt/data/es/data1,/opt2/data/data2
path.work: /opt/data/work
path.logs: /opt/data/logs
path.plugins: /opt/data/plugins

  3. Set up parameters to control the standard index creation. These parameters are:

    index.number_of_shards: 5
index.number_of_replicas: 1

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
