The document discusses optimally configuring Elasticsearch clusters for ingesting time-based data like logs. It recommends using time-based indices with a new index created each day. It also discusses techniques for scaling clusters by adding more shards as data volumes increase and distributing the data across nodes to avoid bottlenecks. The optimal bulk size for indexing may vary depending on factors like document size and should be tested.

@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!27 Scaling Data
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!28 Scaling Data
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!29 Scaling Big Data ... ...
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!30 Scaling • In Elasticsearch, shards are the working unit • More data -> More shards Big Data ... ... But how many shards?
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!31 How much data? • ~1000 events per second • 60s * 60m * 24h * 1000 events => ~87M events per day • 1kb per event => ~82GB per day • 3 months => ~7TB
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!32 Shard Size • It depends on many different factors ‒ document size, mapping, use case, kinds of queries being executed, desired response time, peak indexing rate, budget, ... • After the shard sizing*, each shard should handle 45GB • Up to 10 shards per machine * https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/quantitative-cluster-sizing
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!33 How many shards? • Data size: ~7TB • Shard Size: ~45GB* • Total Shards: ~160 • Shards per machine: 10* • Total Servers: 16 * https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/quantitative-cluster-sizing Cluster my_cluster 3 months of logs ...
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!34 But... • How many indices? • What do you do if the daily data grows? • What do you do if you want to delete old data?
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!35 Time-Based Data • Logs, social media streams, time-based events • Timestamp + Data • Do not change • Typically search for recent events • Older documents become less important • Hard to predict the data size
@dadoonet sli.do/elastic!36 Time-Based Data • Time-based Indices is the best option ‒ create a new index each day, week, month, year, ... ‒ search the indices you need in the same request

@dadoonet!40 Templates • Every new created index starting with 'logs-' will have ‒ 2 shards ‒ 1 replica (for each primary shard) ‒ 60 seconds refresh interval PUT _template/logs { "template": "logs-*", "settings": { "number_of_shards": 2, "number_of_replicas": 1, "refresh_interval": "60s" } } More on that later
