hard🚀 Application Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Consider node count and replica distribution
With 3 nodes, setting replicas to 2 allows one primary and two replicas on separate nodes for fault tolerance.Step 2: Balance shards and replicas for speed and safety
3 shards allow parallel search; 2 replicas ensure high availability.Final Answer:
number_of_shards: 3, number_of_replicas: 2 -> Option CQuick Check:
Replicas = nodes - 1 for max fault tolerance [OK]
Quick Trick: Set replicas to nodes minus one for max safety [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Setting replicas to zero losing fault tolerance
- Too many shards causing overhead
- Ignoring node count for replicas
