Force search on a local node?

2015-02-07 Thread codemasterg
Hi -

I am new to Elasticsearch and have what I hope is a basic question for a 
simple configuration.  Assume I have 3 node cluster with a single index and:

  - 1 primary shard
  - 2 replicas of the primary shard

The majority of requests will be searches with relatively few index updates.

All requests are distributed by a network load balancer across the three 
nodes.  Since each node has a copy of the index and the requests are being 
spread across the cluster  by the network load balancer, my intuition is 
that a local search (i.e. execute a search on the node that received the 
request) will perform best.  In other words, I do not want Elasticsearch to 
round-robin each search request from the node received to another node; I 
want the node that received the request to search its local copy of the 
index.

My question: Is there a way for make Elasticsearch search against only the 
shard on the node received (and avoid a network hop to another shard)?

Thanks very much.
