18. Distributed Lucene Directory
• Each index is fully sharded with a configurable
number of shards.
• Each shard can have zero or more replicas.
• Read / Search operations performed on either
replica shard.
20. Scalability
• nodes that can hold data, and nodes that do
not.
• There is no need for a load balancer in
elasticsearch, each node can receive a request,
and if it can’t handle it, it will automatically
delegate it to the appropriate node(s).
• If you want to scale out search, you can simply
have more shard replicas per shard.
21. Transaction log
• Indexed / deleted doc is fully persistent
• No need for a Lucene IndexWriter#commit
• Managed using a transaction log / WAL
• Full single node durability (kill dash 9)
• Utilized when doing hot relocation of shards
• Periodically “flushed” (calling IW#commit)
22. BASE
• Each document you index is there once the
index operation is done.
• No need to commit or something similar to
get everything persisted.
• A shard can have 1 or more replicas for HA.
• Gateway persistency is done in the
background in an async manner.
