I don't run a blog but I thought I would share some results with the community.
Using Elasticsearch 1.4.3 I wanted to test the various ways we could save some storage on our ES index and here are some numbers Created 6 different indexes with the various mapping settings. Each index containing 4 types. Insert 100,000 documents per type so total 400,000 per index. Average document size 300-400 bytes. The values represent the total primary space taken by each index based on the different mapping settings. _source: true = 45MB _source: true, _all: false = 34MB _source: false = 30MB _source: false, _all: false = 18MB _source: false, store: true (all fields) = 39.5MB _source: false, store: true (all fields), _all: false = 28.5MB As you can see the default _source setting takes the most space, while disabling the _source and _all field saves the most space. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
