Hello,

Currently I have a 3 node ElasticSearch cluster. Each node is a RHEL VM 
with 16 gig RAM. The basic config is:

- All nodes can be master and are data nodes.
- 3 shards and 1 replica
- 6 different indexes

I'm starting to run into issues of ElasticSearch bogging down on searches 
and is completely freezing sometimes at night. I've dedicated 9 gig to heap 
size and it says i'm using ~60% of the heap RAM and about 70% of the 
overall heap. So even though I'm using quite a bit of the heap, I'm not 
maxed out. I've attached a screenshot of the exact stats from Elastic HQ. 
I'm averaging around 10,000 events/sec coming into the cluster from 6 
different Logstash instances on another server.

My question is what can I do to help the stability and speed of my cluster. 
Currently I'm having issues with 1 node going down and it taking everything 
else down. The HA portion isn't working very well. I'm debating about 
either adding 1 more node with the exact same stats or adding 2 more 
smaller VMs that will act as master nodes only. I didn't know which one was 
recommended or where I would get the biggest bang for the buck.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric
