Are you trying to start two nodes on the same physical machine? This is not recommended. You see all your nodes in head? That's fine. What's wrong here? I don't understand what your issue actually is.
About sizing. I'd say it depends here mainly if you want to have failover or not. I mean that for a small amount of documents if your documents come from a database (let's say SQL database), I guess that it takes only some seconds to reindex in case of crash, right? So in that case, one node is enough. No replica. Only one shard. If you want failover, you should have 3 nodes (trying to avoid split brain here) and 1 shard with 2 replica. My 2 cents -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | Elasticsearch.com @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 6 février 2014 at 14:04:05, Wesley Creteur ([email protected]) a écrit: Hi, I'm using elasticsearch on my windows 2012 server and want to use the included service that starts automatically. I'm having 2 nodes (just leaning about that) but i can't get this to work. When i start each node individually i see all of my nodes on http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/ but all my command prompts are still visible. Is there a solution for this? I'm using elasticsearch for my webshop (5000 products), facets and search. How many nodes, shards and replicas should i use? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
