Aman, I think to start with, you probably want to set up indexing on only the interesting aspects of your CMS and documents, not everything. Normally, that leads to a much slimmer storage, and better speed in mutating operations.
Given 50K users, the question is how much index-relevant content there will be, and what the peak load of that system is. Do you have any estimations for that?
