34. Rule 3: Throttle the bulk
indexing load
Asynchronous architecture
makes es scalable and fast, but
susceptible to running out of
memory under excessive bulk
indexing load.
35. Rule 4: Try to make all shards
approximately the same size
Elasticsearch allocates shards
based on the number of
shards. It doesn’t consider
shard sizes or available disk
space.
36. 4 rules for happy elasticsearch
1. Give nodes plenty of space
2. Distributed but well
connected
3. Throttle the load
4. Make all shards the same
size
