Hi,
Lets say I have a 3 node cluster and I deploy one index SPECIFIC to every
data node in the cluster.
So, index1 goes to node1, index2 goes to node2, etc. using the
routing.allocation settings based on node.zone etc. config properties.
There may be 5-6 shards per index, but no replicas. All
Mappings aren't saved to a specific node, so you don't need to worry about
that.
You may be able to physically copy the data across and have it recover, but
you should test this.
With out more information I'd question why you want to do this. ES handles
allocation itself perfectly fine and not
