为什么es需要优化？
答：
[root@master elasticsearch-2.4.0]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 6661 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 6661 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited [root@master elasticsearch-2.4.0]# ulimit -n 32000 [root@master elasticsearch-2.4.0]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 6661 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 32000 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 6661 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited [root@master elasticsearch-2.4.0]#
es集群的3节点，每个机器都要去设置。master、slave1和slave2都要去操作。
怎么来做好es的优化工作？
途径1、解决es启动的警告信息【或者es中Too many open files的问题】
max file descriptors [4096] for elasticsearch process likely too low, consider increasing to at least [65536]
vi /etc/security/limits.conf 添加下面两行
* soft nofile 65536
* hard nofile 131072
即，意思是把它们调大，重启es服务进程，就生效了。
途径2、修改配置文件调整ES的JVM内存大小
修改bin/elasticsearch.in.sh中ES_MIN_MEM和ES_MAX_MEM的大小，建议设置一样大，避免频繁的分配内存，根据服务器内存大小，一般分配60%左右(默认256M)
注意：内存最大不要超过32G【详情请看如下的截图和文字说明】
一旦你越过这个神奇的32 GB边界，指针会切换回普通对象指针.。每个指针的大小增加，使用更多的CPU内存带宽。事实上，你使用40~50G的内存和使用32G的内存效果是一样的。
链接：https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/heap-sizing.html#compressed_oops
Don’t Cross 32 GB! There is another reason to not allocate enormous heaps to Elasticsearch. As it turns out, the HotSpot JVM uses a trick to compress object pointers when heaps are less than around 32 GB. In Java, all objects are allocated on the heap and referenced by a pointer. Ordinary object pointers (OOP) point at these objects, and are traditionally the size of the CPU’s native word: either 32 bits or 64 bits, depending on the processor. The pointer references the exact byte location of the value. For 32-bit systems, this means the maximum heap size is 4 GB. For 64-bit systems, the heap size can get much larger, but the overhead of 64-bit pointers means there is more wasted space simply because the pointer is larger. And worse than wasted space, the larger pointers eat up more bandwidth when moving values between main memory and various caches (LLC, L1, and so forth). Java uses a trick called compressed oops to get around this problem. Instead of pointing at exact byte locations in memory, the pointers reference object offsets. This means a 32-bit pointer can reference four billion objects, rather than four billion bytes. Ultimately, this means the heap can grow to around 32 GB of physical size while still using a 32-bit pointer. Once you cross that magical ~32 GB boundary, the pointers switch back to ordinary object pointers. The size of each pointer grows, more CPU-memory bandwidth is used, and you effectively lose memory. In fact, it takes until around 40–50 GB of allocated heap before you have the same effective memory of a heap just under 32 GB using compressed oops. The moral of the story is this: even when you have memory to spare, try to avoid crossing the 32 GB heap boundary. It wastes memory, reduces CPU performance, and makes the GC struggle with large heaps.
注意：是每个es实例不要超过32G，而不是所有的。

大家，自行去，根据自己机器内存实情，设置为其60%。
途径3、设置memory_lock来锁定进程的物理内存地址
避免交换（swapped）来提高性能
修改文件conf/elasticsearch.yml
bootstrap.memory_lock: true
这里，我就不赘述了。
[hadoop@master config]$ pwd
/home/hadoop/app/elasticsearch-2.4.0/config
[hadoop@master config]$ ll
total 12
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 3393 Jul 5 22:19 elasticsearch.yml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 2571 Aug 24 2016 logging.yml
drwxrwxr-x 2 hadoop hadoop 4096 Apr 21 15:43 scripts
[hadoop@master config]$ vim elasticsearch.yml
去掉注释。
es的3节点集群，master、slave1和slave2都要去操作。
途径4、分片多的话，可以提升建立索引的能力，5-20个比较合适。
如果分片数过少或过多，都会导致检索比较慢。
分片数过多会导致检索时打开比较多的文件，另外也会导致多台服务器之间通讯。
而分片数过少会导至单个分片索引过大，所以检索速度也会慢。
建议单个分片最多存储20G左右的索引数据，所以，分片数量=数据总量/20G
途径5、副本多的话，可以提升搜索的能力，但是如果设置很多副本的话也会对服务器造成额外的压力，因为需要主分片需要给所有副本同步数据。所以建议最多设置1-2个即可。
途径6、Elastic 官方文档建议：一个 es实例中 最好不要多于三个 shards，若是 "more shards”，只能增加更多的机器 ，如果服务器性能好的话可以在一台服务器上启动多个es实例
途径7、要定时对索引进行合并优化，不然segment越多，占用的segment memory越多，查询的性能也越差
索引量不是很大的话情况下可以将segment设置为1
在es2.1.0以前调用_optimize接口，后期改为_forcemerge接口
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/zhouls/_forcemerge?max_num_segments=1'
client.admin().indices().prepareForceMerge("zhouls").setMaxNumSegments(1).get();
途径8、针对不使用的index，建议close，减少内存占用。因为只要索引处于open状态，索引库中的segement就会占用内存，close之后就只会占用磁盘空间了。
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/zhouls/_close'
途径9、删除文档：在es中删除文档，数据不会马上在硬盘上除去，而是在es索引中产生一个.del的文件，而在检索过程中这部分数据也会参与检索，es在检索过程会判断是否删除了，如果删除了在过滤掉。这样也会降低检索效率。所以可以执行清除删除文档
curl -XPOST 'http://192.168.80.10:9200/zhouls/_forcemerge?only_expunge_deletes=true'
client.admin().indices().prepareForceMerge("zhouls").setOnlyExpungeDeletes(true).get();
途径10、如果在项目开始的时候需要批量入库大量数据的话，建议将副本数设置为0
因为es在索引数据的时候，如果有副本存在，数据也会马上同步到副本中，这样会对es增加压力。可以等索引完成后将副本按需要改回来。这样可以提高索引效率。
途径11、去掉mapping中_all字段，Index中默认会有_all这个字段，默认会把所有字段的内容都拷贝到这一个字段里面，这样会给查询带来方便，但是会增加索引时间和索引尺寸。
禁用_all字段 "_all":{"enabled":false}
如果只是某个字段不希望被加到_all中，可以使用 "include_in_all":false
途径12、log输出的水平默认为trace，即查询超过500ms即为慢查询，就要打印日志，造成cpu和mem，io负载很高。把log输出水平改为info，可以减轻服务器的压力。
修改ES_HOME/conf/logging.yaml文件
途径1:可以解决es的警告信息
其实啊，若我们在ES_HOME目录下，不用后台bin/elasticsearch -d这种方式来启动的话，用前台bin/elasticsearch。则会看到，如下：
说明，我这里是因为安装了tomcat。所以，在前台直接启动，会出错。
所以，
