ElasticSearch is basically a REST API layer for Lucene. It provides
the storage and search engine for Logstash. It scales horizontally and
loves it when you give it more memory. Currently we run a single node
cluster on a large VM to give ElasticSearch both memory and disk space.
Per index (Logstash creates one index per day) we have one replica (on
the same node, this does not provide HA, it speeds up searches) and
five shards (each shard is basically its own index, having multiple
shards increases indexing throughput).
As this setup grows and handles more logs we may need to add more
ElasticSearch nodes and run a proper cluster. Haven't reached that point
yet, but will probably be necessary as disk and memory footprints
increase.

Per index (Logstash creates one index per day) we have N+1 replica
redundancy to distribute disk utilization and provide high availability.
Each replica is broken into multiple shards providing inceased indexing
and search throughput as each shard is essentially a valid mini index.
