Index Configuration

• elasticsearch.yml defines defaults for index configuration:

  number_of_shards: 5
  number_of_replicas: 1

• Each index can be configured with desired number of shard during creation:

  curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/orders' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d'
  {
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 1,
    "number_of_replicas": 0
  }
  }'

• Do you recall discussion about multi-index search capabilities?
