A system and method for implementing rule based sharding in elasticsearch

摘要

System and method for searching documents in a plurality of nodes is disclosed. A plurality of documents is stored by creating an index for one or more documents in the plurality of documents. The index is divided into a physical/logical location, based on a predefined set of values present in the one or more documents. Subsequent to creation of the index, the physical/logical location of the document is determined. After creating the index, a query for searching the at least one document in a plurality of nodes is received. The query is processed by mapping the query with the physical/logical location of the index. After processing the query, the document is retrieved from the node based upon the mapping of the query with the physical/logical location of the index.
