Index Configuration

• elasticsearch.yml defines defaults for index configuration:

  number_of_shards: 5
  number_of_replicas: 1
  

• Each index can be configured with desired number of shard during creation:

  curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/ordering' -d '
  {
    "settings": {
        "number_of_shards" :   1
        "number_of_replicas" : 0
    }
  }'
  

• Do you recall discussion about multi-index search capabilities?
