Hi All, Here I have a question as well for the same with respect to below scenario.
1) Say I am indexing a huge amount of data (say 500GB) per day. 2) It contains about 15 fields including attachments as well. 3) As per current arch _source is set as default (enabled). 4) Almost all fields are set as store true as well. 5) Now I am firing two type of query: a) Retrieving docs on the basis of id which will give complete source and b) On the basis of some fields say 4 or 5 fields. So considering the above query for retrieval and amount of data, does it really make sense to store the source as well as individual field. Because ES internally returns the data as field as well even if it is not stored (but _source is stored). As in some of the post I read retrieval from fields is faster in case we have less fields and less data. But what in case of large data, retrieving from fields is faster or retrieving from _source. Please confirm for the same. ~Prashant -- View this message in context: http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/What-does-it-mean-to-store-a-field-tp3514176p4063855.html Sent from the ElasticSearch Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
