Thanks Mathieu for you response. I will try your suggestions.

"It's a huge value. Shards can be split between nodes, do you target tu use 
15 nodes?"

Hi Mat, 

- For examples if I have just one node, shards = 5, replica = 0. Then I can 
easily backup the data by "cp /var/lib/elasticsearch/nodename 
/somewhere/backup -rfp"

- Now I add one more node, so the cluster has two nodes, shards = 5, 
replica = 0. The shards are redistributed, maybe 1st node holds 0 2 4, 2nd 
node holds 1 3. => How can I backup, each node does not hold the whole 
data, can not simple cp ...

- If I update replicas = 1, each node now have full 5 shards, I can easy cp 
backup on any node.

If you know the better way for backup which can handle distributed shards, 
plz let me know.

Thank you.

PS : Can I reduce shards from 5 to 4 without losing data ?
