Elasticsearch - Brain Cluster ! After reading this about article about elastic search cluster -- Split - brain problem  I wanted to be careful about setting an elastic search cluster. I have to setup a 3 node cluster of elastic search. After reading a few articles about it, it comes down to how the cluster will be used mostly. Here are some of the questions that i asked when setting the cluster up. I hope that this can be a good starting point for anybody setting up elastic search cluster. 1. How many nodes are you going to use for the cluster ?    We only have 3 physical servers that is why i decided to use a 3 node cluster.       Here are the settings that i used          Gave the cluster a name [cluster.name: brain] - brain cluster           Gave each node a name [node.name: "brain_1"']                                                [node.name: "brain_2"']                                                 [node.name: "brain_3"'

Network? What Network? In any complex enterprise application system network communications is an inevitable part of how the system will get accessed. Web applications are accessed through a complicated infrastructure of communication devices. Developers never take notice nor care about the network (most of the time) that delivers application to users, but developers should care, specially now that more applications are accessed through mobile devices. Here is a link that talks about how mobile networks might affect the performance of applications from Google IO. This talk really presents a valid point on how you can develop a strategy around your application in order to be more responsive within the constraints of mobile networks. Mobile Performance Wifi Networks! After seeing this talk I started wondering about Wifi networks. Even though mobile networks are becoming ubiquitous, the speed and performance are still not comparable to Wifi networks. Any enterprise system appl
