In this section, we will take a look at how to set up the ES-Hadoop cluster in production, and we will see some common deployment best practices, along with some configurations for common production scenarios.
Hadoop is known to work with the clusters of commodity hardware. However, when it comes to scale, reliability, and high-performance requirements, Elasticsearch is proven to work way better for medium to large boxes. Also, if you go for a greater number of small boxes, you may just be inviting unnecessary troubles by introducing administration hassles. Although these decisions are highly influenced by budget and project requirements, these are just guidelines that can help you in taking the right decision for your deployments.
