Building a Pseudo-Cluster for Elasticsearch
Cluster Topology Requirements
To ensure high availability, an Elasticsearch cluster requires a minimum of three master-eligible nodes. This configuration allows the cluster to sustain the failure of a single master node without losing quorum. If two master nodes fail simultaneous, the cluster cannot form a quorum, resulting in service interrupt ...

Advanced Elasticsearch Search Techniques
Term-Based vs Full-Text Search
Term-Level Queries (Typically Used Without Scoring for Performance)
Term queries perform exact matches and are case-sensitvie depending on the field's analyzer. For example, if a text field uses the standard analyzer (which lowercases terms), querying with uppercase will fail.
Data Setup:
DELETE products
PUT produ ...
