Elasticsearch Cluster Installation & Configuration

A guide for installing and configuring an Elasticsearch cluster according to best practices. It contains a mix of setup steps and theory. Assuming that Ubuntu Server is already installed, and you have the server resources at your disposal (I used virtual machines), you can set up a complete, robust Elasticsearch cluster.

The information in this guide was assembled from the Elasticsearch documentation, notes from online training classes, and personal experience with the software.

What We're Building

A fully-functional Elasticsearch cluster consisting of nine total servers. There will be two client nodes, three master nodes and four data nodes. The theory section will provide insight into the node types and how to plan accordingly. The hands-on installation section will go through all the steps required to build it.
