Sorry to bother you @Mark, but this term *appropriate heap size* always haunts me. Suppose, I have 2 virtual machines (4 core, 8 gb RAM each). According to elasticsearch's documentation, half of RAM should be allocated to elasticsearch. So, this is what I came up with:
Node1: Elasticsearch 1.5.2 *Master-Data* node with 4 gb HEAP (*server1*) Node2: Elasticsearch 1.5.2 *Master-Only*(no data) node with 1 gb HEAP (*server1*) Node3: Elasticsearch 1.5.2 *Master-Data* node with 4 gb HEAP (*server2*) Do you think this is a sane strategy? Moreover, if I make *Master-Only* node (Node2) invisible to load balancer i.e. I simply won't include it at all, will it still require 1 gb HEAP? Please forgive me if I am asking something too naive. -- View this message in context: http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Elasticsearch-2-node-cluster-with-failover-tp4074949p4074968.html Sent from the Elasticsearch Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Please update your bookmarks!
