This topic lists the performance metrics of an Elasticsearch cluster that contains three data nodes. Each data node has 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory. The metrics include the Kibana metrics during the performance test and the performance metrics that are used to calculate these Kibana metrics.
Note The official GeoNames database is used for the test. The database contains 11,520,617 DOC files whose total size is 3.3 GB.
